Portofino is an elegant poncho which can also be worn as a shawl. Two beautiful lace patterns are worked on the bias in two different colours (or work it all in one colour if preferred).

Portofino is part of the Lace Wear Volume Two collection and can be purchased as part of the collection or as a separate pattern. If you purchase the collection, you will receive all the patterns already published and the remaining patterns when they are published. Each time a pattern is published the price of the collection increases.
