Raz, stands short for razzmatazz, an exciting and complex play intended to confuse an opponent.
Hm, I certainly don’t mean to confuse you but I know this pretty poncho will please you.

So the Raz poncho is easy to knit, in all Garter stitches and just a few eyelets in the very top of your Raz.
There is a bit of marling/blending the two complimentary colors into one, the knit kit makes it easy without added extra bulk to the fabric. A single seam, choose the option that will fit you best, will create the poncho. Or if you leave it un-seamed, you can wear it as a shawl.

Dimension of flat shawl blocked: Height 12” Length 49.5”. The knit kits have enough yarn to add extra length.

The pattern is written and offers photos to guide you.
