Newtown brings Bohus style to the blanket poncho with a dramatically oversized look, knit in Imperial Yarn’s ruggedly soft Columbia. Bohus-like block colorwork, knit in a quartet of winter pastels, embellishes the neckband and lower panels. The pattern texture echoes in the garter ribbing that’s worked throughout the bodice. Garter striping borders the side and lower edges and knit-in pockets. A narrow band of single ribbing finishes the collar.

Colorways used are #02 pearl gray, #218 tufted primrose, #114 dusty rose, #21 cactus blossom, and #01 natural.
