This dreamy ‘poncho thingie’ is full of drama, pledging love with delightful results. Two rectangular pieces; joined at the shoulders with a 3-needle bind off. A little longer in the back, giving coverage and warmth. The cables add wonderful depth and detail, including the ‘reversible cable’ near your side & arm area, for a clean and finished look, from the edging inside. The center cable travels up the turtle or mock neck, (your choice) making for a chic and detailed structure.
The “optional” heart(s) motif (pledge of love) just adds to the whimsy of this spectacular piece.
And when you throw this on? Ahhhh…the warmth and coziness just makes you realize how SO worth it is. Truly a PLEDGE OF LOVE, whether it’s for you or a loved one.

They certainly pledged their time, energy and I hope will be loving their results, for cold days now and in the future.
And our “tech” gal POINTYHEAD is incredible.
None of this could have been achieved without you ALL.
THANK YOU!
