Techniques & Construction

The fringe embellishment is added to enhance the visual appeal and drape of the poncho. The pattern is structured to accommodate a one-size-fits-most approach, allowing the piece to adapt to different body types through strategic shaping and draping rather than complex sizing calculations.
