Cozy up in style with our delightful "Apres Ski" poncho knitting pattern! Whether you've just returned from the slopes or a day of shopping, this comfy poncho will be your perfect companion as you sip hot toddies by the fire, creating an atmosphere of warmth and relaxation. Designed for both fun and functionality, the "Apres Ski" poncho is a charming knit-in-the-round project that begins at the top with a stylish yoke design, making it as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear.

You will enjoy watching your knitted masterpiece come to life! Crafted from a luxurious wool/acrylic blend, this lovely poncho requires approximately 400 yards of the main color (MC) and around 200 yards each of four contrasting colors, making it an excellent project to showcase your favorite yarns.
