Australian Poncho



Pattern is "lacy poncho & gloves" from "creative knitting" magazine from Australia. www.creativeknitting.com.au Issue 17. Pattern calls for Patons Inca but I substituted Lion Brand Kool Wool 50% merino wool/50% acrylic. Imported from Italy. A steal at $2 a skein at Ocean State Job Lot! Color is 380-149 Dark Charcoal Grey.
