Poncho Méribel

Poncho Méribel — enveloping warmth, the essential version

Designed in our workshops, the Poncho Méribel is a timeless piece, both comfortable and elegant. Its roomy, fluid cut, its V-neck and its open sides make it an easy-to-wear garment, over a fine jumper, a shirt or a dress. Ideal for cool days, indoors and out.

Simplicity and softness

The poncho is made of two identical rectangular panels (back and front), knitted in plain stocking stitch and edged with 2/2 rib (or 1/1, as you prefer). Only the V-neck requires a few regular decreases on the front. The sides stay open: no side seam, only the shoulders to sew up.

The Méribel quality, soft and cosy, brings all the comfort you could want and a magnificent drape. A wool that is a pleasure to knit, with even stitches and an enveloping result.
