Pattern: Poncho *DonnaRocco*

A pattern for a multicoloured, casual and elegant knitted poncho in the *DonnaRocco* style, designed by Birgit Freyer.

The combination of different patterns and colours keeps the knitting process interesting, and creates a result worth seeing.
You can knit the poncho *DonnaRocco* with a combination of three different colours - from bright to tonal - or stick to one colour completely.
It is worked top down, beginning at the neckline.

All *DonnaRocco* style patterns have something in common: The change of colours and patterns is accompanied by a characteristic set of garter stitch
ridges. Also, all the patterns are variable.

The pattern is charted.
