Looking for a new way to keep warm? The Winter issue of Vogue Knitting has it–a chunky, textured capelet paired with ribbed arm warmers. The Drop Stitch Poncho and Arm Warmers are a cinch to knit in Blue Sky Alpacas Bulky and the oversized stitches are totally on trend. The poncho is made from the bottom up in a drop-stitch lace pattern that ends with a ribbed turtleneck; the matching arm warmers finish up in a flash on circular needles. Follow VK’s color cue with Frost and Jasmine or choose your own combination from the 24 colors in the Bulky palette.
