Zinnia Poncho is a simple and elegant ribbed poncho designed to be worn effortlessly over tops, dresses or lightweight sweaters.

Worked from the top down, Zinnia begins in the round with a high 1×1 ribbed neck. A single increase round creates the extra width needed over the shoulders, and the piece is then worked flat to form the open front and create its soft, cape-like drape.

The design is minimal, versatile and very easy to wear, with a clean silhouette that works equally well for everyday outfits or as an extra layer in cooler weather.

The pattern is available in 6 sizes, from S to 3XL, and includes both metric and imperial measurements.
