Easy Folded Poncho Using Shibui Billow
The Design
No returns on sale items, please. Dyelots may vary.
Our favorite poncho transcends the trends. It’s easy to knit (just one long stockinette rectangle), easy to finish, and easy to throw on. Knit with a cowl or without, you’ll see why this is a Churchmouse favorite!
We knit an elegant, gently fuzzy Easy Folded Poncho in Shibui Billow. In this DK-weight yarn, lofty wisps of merino and alpaca embrace a strong core of cotton for a strand with the gentlest touch of fuzz. The center of the yarn contrasts slightly with the more saturated halo, resulting in a fabric with rich visual depth.
