KATNISS PONCHO
About the Katniss Poncho... The Katniss Poncho was inspired by the cowl that Katniss Everdeen was wearing in the great movie: The Hunger Games. The poncho with an easy-to-memorize cable pattern is worked in one piece and due to the bulky yarn it can be knit in very short time. Skilllevel: · 0 0 o o (1 of 5)
