Summer vacation is quickly coming to an end, and temperatures are starting to cool in the evenings.

That means you’re going to want something to keep you a little warmer, but not TOO warm.

Enter the poncho.

It’s heavier than a shawl, but not as big as a sweater.

A poncho is the perfect balance of warmth and comfort.

Here are a few of our favorite patterns…
