Someone should have come up with this much earlier: the poncho-jacket is a great combination of a loose fitting jacket and a comfortable poncho (sizes XS, S, M). Thanks to large needles, this project knits up as comfortably as it can be worn later. With a straight cut, garter stitch for the cuffs and stockinette for the other areas, even beginners will have fun knitting this. The beautiful patterned effect and soft texture come directly from the color yarn Schachenmayr Ikaria.
