cowl poncho

This elegant poncho is the perfect piece for transition weather. It's knitted in a cozy alpaca blend in sepia, and combines a cable knit pattern across the chest with vertical panels around the body for added structure. A turtleneck means it will feel extra cozy.

Martin now serves in a local nonprofit that teaches other artisans the same skills he once learned as a young man to help them access better job opportunities.
