The Chrysanthemum poncho with a loose fit feels extremely comfortable to wear all year round with a wide neckline opening and generously sized body. Depending on season, wear a tank, a long sleeve tee, blouse or sweater under it, it’s pretty versatile so you can wear it really year round~

The poncho is knitted top down and the pattern is fully written and includes a chart for the stranded motif. Learn about catching the floats in the back used in the stranded knitting portion on page 4 of the pattern.
