Verna's Poncho
by Caroline Giberti and Mary Gavan Yarns
Verna's Ponchita is knit using a simple lace pattern that is repeat throughout the project. Rows of Canyon yarn alternate with rows of Sea yarn from end to end. The pattern is knit side-to-side in one piece. Both yarns are carried along, leaving only a few ends to weave in. The perfect accessory for day or evening. Enjoy!
