Wrap yourself in bold elegance with this striking poncho, designed to fit and flatter in two versatile sizes that work for most body types. The piece begins with a cozy cowl neck, worked in stockinette on the inside for comfort and stranded colorwork on the outside to create a dramatic frame for your face.

The petal-inspired colorwork extends just beyond the cowl, flowing gracefully into the solid stockinette body for a smooth and beautiful transition. The poncho drapes with ease, offering both comfort and style in every stitch.

As a finishing touch, a facing is worked on the inside of the split hem and sewn down, creating a refined edge that adds polish and a touch of timeless elegance. Perfect for layering, this poncho is as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear.
