The Williamsburg Poncho by Vanessa Putt is such a fun, gratifying project. Knit in super bulky Malabrigo Rasta, the intermediate level poncho features a dramatic cowl neck with thick, intertwining cables down the front & back. To knit the piece, you will knit the front & back flat, seperately. The two pieces are then seamed at the shoulders. Lastly, stitches are picked up along the sides & neck to create the ribbed border & cowl neck.
