Transition from one fashion mood to the next with this fabulous Reversible poncho. Trimmed with garter stitch, and featuring gently curving lace along the hem and cowl edges, it is cleverly fastened with i-cord rings. One side is a sleek stockinette fabric punctuated with wide ribs, while the flip side offers a more textured look. However you choose to wear it, you’ll enjoy its cozy, effortless style.

Quick to knit using basic stitches, it’s worked in two pieces and then seamed at the shoulder before working the cowl neck. Choose the “Right” side that speaks to you and work a sturdy 3-needle bind off, or, keep your options open by working the shoulder seam in Kitchener stitch and your poncho will be completely reversible!
