Pattern Description:

Pontos is a simple, wearable, cozy piece. Constructed in one piece from the bottom up with a raglan yoke, it knits up quickly in bulky weight yarn on big needles and its lacy stitch pattern opens it up and lightens the weight of the wool/mohair blend. The long length and patch pockets make it both cozy and chic - why sacrifice style for comfort?
