The Brookside Poncho is softly textured with a simple rib stitch pattern, and the diagonal stripes are a fun way to play with color! The poncho is knit in a long rectangle, then seamed along the shoulder, making this easy peasy and a perfect tv or podcast-listening knit! The edges are finished with slipped stitches as you knit, so no further finishing is required after seaming! Knit yours using the beautiful selection of colors from June Cashmere!
