Easy Folded Poncho

*With or without cowl* Our favorite poncho transcends the trends. As a friend from Peru wryly observed, “Where I come from, we’ve worn ponchos for three thousand years!” It’s easy to knit (just one long stockinette rectangle), easy to finish, and easy to throw on. We think it’s like a really elegant sweatshirt. YARN Poncho with cowl: 9 skeins [Blue Sky Alpacas *Melange*][1] (110 yds/100m each); Or approx. 980 yds/896m of an equivalent dk-weight yarn. Poncho without cowl: 5 skeins [Rowan *Felted Tweed*][2] (191 yds/175m each); Or approx. 840 yds/768m of an equivalent dk-weight yarn.
