| Description | One of my favorite places to go birding in the Texas Hill Country is at Pedernales Falls State Park. It has a magnificent bird blind where you maybe even get a glance at the endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler. While I love to go birding there, it is most famous for Pedernales Falls, a step waterfall that flows over tilted, limestone. To celebrate this feature of one of my favorite parks, I designed this poncho. The lace and dropped stitches represent the water of the falls that flows over the limestone, represented by the beads. |

| Skills required | This shawl poncho is constructed first as two rectangles. The upper edge will then be sewn or crochet together to form the poncho, leaving a space for a neck hole. Additionally, a small section on each side will be sewn together to form arm holes. This poncho can be knit in only 1 color yarn or 2+ colors. It looks great in pretty much any yarn color such as variegated, semi-solid, tonal, gradient, solid, self-striping, etc! If using more than one color, carry up the non-working yarn through the i-cord edging. |
