Spring rejuvenation is here, but there is still a chill in the air. Craft yourself a little something to keep the chill off the neck and shoulders. Sweet little cables encase your neck in a snug cowl and travel along the lines to create a poncho.

Pattern Notes:

• Worked in the round, top down.
• Once cowl is made, you’ll work circular yoke reases o The increases radiate throughout the yoke o You’ll divide the yoke into 6 sections. 5 of them will be divided by 2/2 LC cables and one will be the traditional triangular shawl spine
• Once the body is long enough, the increases will slow and you’ll only increase at the spine
• Multiple wear options: o Wear the point on either the front or the back o Pull it down to wear it like a poncho o Or, pull it up to drape softly like a cowl o Or, if you’re feeling peppy, wear the point draped over one of your shoulders
