Into the Blue poncho is a mid-season poncho knitted in aran/worsted. Featuring colours that fade from sand into sea blue and then into sky blue, it also has optional sparkly thread for sea and clouds. Random knit and purl rows add to the texture.

It is an easy pattern as the only skills needed are cast/bind on and off, knit, purl, and changing colour yarn. Instructions are written line by line, in English with British/USA terms.
