“Honeycomb Hollow by Vicki Myers”
Description
Ahh…Honeycomb Hollow - doesn’t it just sound like a place where you could have a tea party picnic and meet little animated animal friends? I can’t guarantee that your world will turn partially animated when you wear this poncho, but it IS a great item to have at the ready for cool summer evenings and mornings! The stitch patterns look complicated, but are surprisingly easy, fun, and flattering! The kit (available at island-yarn.com) includes all the yarn (2 balls Noro Sonata and 1 ball Noro Akari) you need to make this poncho and a pattern download code for Honeycomb Hollow.
