Craft: Knitting

The Wayfarer Poncho is a light and cozy poncho that shows off a gradient of colors from three different skeins. Switch up the color combinations to make a subtler (or bolder!) look. With a higher back, the Wayfarer Poncho won’t accidentally be pulled or stretched when sitting, while the longer front provides warmth and comfort.
