This capelet style poncho was worked using a combination of two-color brioche and two-color garter stitch. The heavy bulky (chunky) yarn works up fast and makes this a very warm layering piece. There are notes included for customizing the length and width; just remember to get extra yardage if you plan on making it bigger!
