Valley Yarns Heuchera is a fun textured turtleneck poncho you’ll enjoy throwing on knit in Amherst. This is the perfect project for those long car rides, yet simple enough to work on while watching TV! Heuchera is knit flat in two pieces, and then the top edge is seamed, leaving an opening in the center, where stitches are picked up and worked in the round for the turtleneck.
