Sweetly simple in form but with a hip, modern vibe, the Poincaré Poncho begs to be curled up in. A ribbed, foldover collar and hand slits make this poncho a cozy choice. Worked in the round from the top down, this poncho features a standout front cable panel with diamond-shaped twists that devolve into simple ropes and ribbing.

NOTES

  • This poncho is worked in the round from the top down to the hand openings, then the front and back are worked separately back and forth, then the stitches are joined and the rest of the poncho is worked in the round. The back neck is shaped using short-rows.
