The poncho is a large rectangle, knit from the short side, in three textures: triangles in stockinette and reverse stockinette and a seed stitch border create a reversible textured fabric that shows off the semisolid yarn beautifully. Increases and decreases form a collar.
Buttons are placed on two edges of the rectangle, so you can button it up as a poncho or as a cowl. The buttons and buttonholes also give you lots of options for wearing.
The pattern is available as both a written and a fully charted version (in separate files).
