For traipsing around the chilly highlands of Ireland, we have a pattern for that perfect poncho that keeps you both warm and stylish this fall and winter. With rope and long lazy cables alongside simple stockinette, an optional cowl neckline, and knit using the alpaca/wool blend of Cascade’s Highland Duo, your likelihood of receiving compliments is 100%.

The poncho without a cowl neck uses approximately 780 yards. With a cowl neck, the poncho uses about 950 yards. This pattern is written with no charts.
