Product description

“I liked designing this poncho with a little more structure; the turtleneck, seamed sides and armhole openings will make certain this poncho doesn’t twist around or become too fussy to wear. The allover cable and lace stitch motif make it quite the fun knit and a statement piece.” – Michele Wang
