Cowl-Neck Poncho in 4 Versions: Homespun Version Reviewed by Valarie Hartley on 2010-01-30
I've made this poncho twice now, once for a friend and once for myself. Very easy to make and looks lovely in either the homespun or the 100% Alpaca I used for my own. Both my friend and I have gotten multiple compliments and I've passed on the pattern repeatedly.
