Just in time for spring comes a new and updated version of the classic poncho from Cardiff Bay Handknits. This wonderful layering piece offers a bit of warmth, but in an open and airy way that transcends the seasons. Dropped stitches add interest and flair to this classic and timeless look, and a purchased shawl pin allows you to adjust your neckline perfectly. Sized for women sizes 6-16 and easy to knit in Louisa Harding’s luxurious Esquel yarn, the design is wonderful for beginners and experienced knitters alike. The Esquel yarn has sadly been discontinued, however is still fairly easy to find online. A wonderful substitute yarn is also suggested for you, Berroco Remix, which would work especially well for summer with its cotton, acrylic and silk blend.
