| Job type | Test knit |
| Description | A couple years ago, my son Caleb made a special request for a poncho. He is a senior this year and I’m so proud of the young man he has become. This masculine design is completely his idea, from the color choices to the chevron motif. He has dabbled in knitting as well and has a great artistic eye. This versatile poncho can be worn with the chevron stripes positioned in front and back with a boat style neck, or with the chevron stripes positioned over the arms with a v style neck opening. |
