Pattern Description from Stitch ‘N Bitch: “Don’t worry, this isn’t that plaid number they wore in the seventies--it’s an updated, hip take on the poncho, knit top-down with a chunky yarn and accented with furry trim and pom-poms. The turtleneck adds extra style and warmth. you can pair it with your favorite jeans, dress or skirt for a quirky, chic look. ; I love the simplicity of this garment, which knits up quickly on large needles, and the fact that it can be easily adapted to suit different styles and tastes. You can experiment with various necklines, widths, and other details, like adding fringe or mini pom-poms to the hem.”
