Free Pattern Friday: Knit Poncho Pattern from Red Heart!

November 20, 2015 by AllFreeKnitting

TGIF, yarnies! Today’s Free Pattern Friday is a fashion trend I am loving right now: a knit poncho. They’re so cozy, but since your arms stay free they allow you to layer without adding any bulk. Embrace the chilly weather with this free knitting pattern, and I hope you’re having a great end to your week!
