Here's an irresistible combination of cables knit in a sumptuous alpaca-blend yarn to create a key piece for your winter wardrobe! Lots and lots of interesting cable panels run up the front and back sections of this poncho. The poncho is made up of 4 pieces – to keep the knitting manageable and create a slight angled effect for the hemline.

After the four pieces are seamed, a generous cowl is picked up from the shaped neckline. The cowl is cabled all around to echo the design of the body.

Large snaps are then sewn inside the Seed stitch borders to close the sides. Or you may choose to wear it free and loose. No matter what - this piece is truly a sophisticated, statement-making addition to your wardrobe!
