Great Falls Poncho Knitting Pattern

Great Falls Poncho-One Dollar Wednesday with Marly BirdThis week’s pattern is the Great Falls Poncho. This is a sister knit project to the Mountain Mist Poncho.

Just like with the Mountain Mist Poncho this is designed as  large rectangle that you hold together with buttons. There is no shaping in the project, the difficulty of this project is in working the cables and lace.
