Dumpling poncho

The Dumpling Poncho is a light and airy poncho worked from the top down. The neck is worked first, before continuing with increases that create the wide silhouette. Finally, the poncho is finished with a soft flounce that gives it a feminine and playful look (and that give it the resemblance of a dumpling). An i-cord is threaded through the neck and can be tied into a small bow, or styled in different ways using one or more cords for a more personal touch.
