Northern Lights Poncho
For many hours on November 11th, the heavens graced us with a somewhat rare display of the Northern Lights. I had never seen such spectacular reds before! I had been working on this poncho and my dear friend, Jeneen, suggested the name, Northern Lights. Thanks, Jeneen.

It’s an easy knit, with uncomplicated stitches and a good choice for social knitting, or to take along on a trip. You’ll be enchanted by the beautiful colors of this yarn, although any light worsted or dk weights will work with the pattern.

It measures approximately 20” wide x 56” in length (before folding). Gauge is 5 sts./in. 6 rows /in.

Although this yarn is fabulous, any light worsted or dk weights would work with the pattern. Enjoy!

Thank you to Michele and Andrea for modeling.
