Cell Stitch Poncho + Cairns + Market Square
The Cairns Cell Stitch Poncho (above) is a Haus favorite and we're drawn to it every year as soon as spring arrives. With the arrival of some new colors of the absolutely ideal yarn for it, we're doubly excited!
A perfect layering piece for spring (and into summer!!), the Cell Stitch Poncho features an allover knitted eyelet stitch pattern that works up into a swingy, lightweight fabric. Cairns is a colorful, cotton blend tape yarn and is now available in nine fun, striped and variegated colors.
Another fun pattern for Cairns is the Market Square bag (below). This practical market bag is perfect for a quick trip to the grocery or farmers market, and would also make an amazing bag for toting your current knitting project! Pattern includes instructions for two sizes and is knit using two different colors of Cairns.
