Choose your favorite spot to relax, in a porch swing, on a chaise lounge by the pool or in a shady arbor. Then enjoy creating this perfect summer knitting project.

Jesse, the little poncho that slips over your head and drapes over your arms is a carefree idea for a spring and summer cover up top. It has the option to be worn open poncho style or closed with laces up the sides. The pattern is worked from the bottom front up to the boatneck-style opening and down to the back hem. There is no shaping, so it is easy and relaxing to knit. And bands of simple openwork adds detail to provide a little fun. Enjoy.
