Description
Léonie is a colorwork poncho adorned with lovely textured ribbing on the cowl and the hem. It is seamless and worked from top to bottom, structured by four raglan lines where the increases are distributed. Léonie can be worn indoors for extra comfort or outdoors over a thick sweater or a light coat to keep you warm. Additionally, you can also knit the matching cowl named Léon for even more softness and warmth. Léonie is the result of a collaboration with my friend Séverine (L’Atelier de Léon on social media). Together, we sketched out the main design elements, worked on the model’s structure, and selected the yarns and colours. It was a rich experience full of skill-sharing, kindness, and great camaraderie. Thank you, Séverine!
