The Design

Designed by Martin Storey for Rowan Magazine 68’s ‘Seamless’ collection, Skibo is a cute poncho with a nostalgic touch! The main body is beautifully textured with moss stitch, while a gorgeous cabled panel takes center stage. Chic and charming, Skibo is a fun—and cozy!—addition to your cool-weather wardrobe.

Martin chose Rowan Alpaca Classic for this lovely poncho. Oh, so snuggle-able, this DK-weight yarn is a blend of cotton and alpaca that’s as light as it is soft. The dye, which saturates the alpaca fiber with a jewel-like intensity, infuses the cotton more gently. The result brings brilliant tonal depths to the moss stitch texture of Skibo!
