Cairns Cell Stitch Poncho
The Cairns Cell Stitch Poncho is a Haus favorite and we're drawn to it every year as soon as spring arrives! A perfect layering piece for spring (and well into summer), it features an allover knitted eyelet stitch pattern that works up into a swingy, lightweight fabric. Cairns is a cotton blend tape yarn and is available in four fun striped variegated colors.
Shop Cairns HERE! You'll need four skeins, and we'll include the pattern. You'll need a 24" US 9 circular needle as well! If you need one, click HERE!
*The color pictured in our shop sample is knit in has been discontinued, alas!
