This delicious poncho is just complex enough to keep it interesting, but simple enough that you can knit on ‘auto pilot’ for much of the body of the garment.  A clever slip-st double yarn-over technique add flattering vertical stripes, and the i-cord bind off at hem and neck give an elegant finish.
