PATTERN NOTES
With just a touch of stranded knitting, this project is a nice introduction to this method of changing colors in your work. This short poncho or capelet is knit seamlessly in the round from the top down. It can act as a shoulder/bust warmer for a brisk walk in the woods or can be scrunched up and worn as a cowl paired with your favorite winter coat.
