Meet Oodles of Stripes, your new go-to poncho.
Knitted with a new cool, mercerized cotton yarn available in my online yarn shop, it features a flattering lengthwise cut in a soft color palette. You’ll love the yarn and how easy it is to knit….

It’s knitted in two pieces and two short seams to give you plenty of space to move your arms freely. The top edge gets a sweet seed stitch border added and four heart shaped buttons cinch it together. So sweet~

The pattern is fully written for sizes S/M - 36/38” and L/XL - 46/50” and offers a schematic to help finish your project~
