Simplicity Cozy Poncho

I am house-sitting at a friend’s home this winter. It is on the end of a peninsula on Buzzards Bay in Massachusetts. Walking the dogs is much more pleasant when I’m bundled up in my new fleece lined poncho. Mine isn’t the prettiest but this pattern would level it up a notch or two! The pattern includes three styles, one with a hood, one with an asymmetrical cut, and shorter poncho with a rounded hem.
