The Elim Poncho is a casual go-to layer that features intuitive lace and cable motifs. Worked in a rustic but soft worsted-weight tweed, this poncho can be dressed up or down depending on the day’s activities. It’s worked in one piece with a divide for the V-neck. After the rectangle is blocked, simply fold it in half and it’s ready to wear!
