Any young girl or tween will want to wrap up in this contemporary Dandelion poncho. Layer it over a tank top or sundress in hot weather or wear it over a long-sleeved shirt in a contrasting color on cooler days. This is a project you will love to make, they will love to wear, and both will love getting complimented on!
The eyelet flowers give interest to the poncho and the Barred Stockinette border eliminates roll and enhances the soft drape.
Dandelion is a surprisingly fast project. The construction is simple: knit bottom-up in a single rectangular piece with no provisional cast-on, no picking up stitches, no grafting and no sewing. When you knit the last stitch your poncho is ready to wear and enjoy!
Simply Sophisticated.
