Springtime Ponchette
As promised, here is the Springtime Ponchette. It’s a sweet, elbow length, shortie poncho, just right for covering your shoulders and arms this spring and summer. The name ponchette seems to fit.
Based on the stitches for the Springtime Wrap, the Ponchette is deeper and fastens with a simple seam or sewn buttons. It starts out on the diagonal and halfway through, changes direction, creating a delightful V- shaped piece.
This yarn has gorgeous color blends and lots of nubby soft texture. Did I say soft?! Yes, it’s a cotton/silk/wool blend and it’s so soft in your hands, and on your neck and shoulders. What a wonderful treat for this time of year.
Thanks to Carrie for the ingenious idea, knitting and modeling the Springtime Ponchette!
Enjoy!
