Most definitely the poncho is easy to wear. Throw it on and you're good to go and therefore, a good reason to knit one.
Add sleeves and you have an easy sweater poncho or swoncho. What's considered outerwear becomes an essential garment.

One had to hibernate to keep warm. Two basic rectangles with picking up stitches on both sides for sleeves and voila you have a lovely cover-up.

Think convertible and make a cowl to throw on top of a plain neckline - the choices are endless Read further for the schematics and free pattern of basic, simple shapes and be sure to read the past post below for more information and free pattern.
