Ilga Leja's gentle poncho Summer in the City is perfect for those cooler days when all you want is a light, but elegant, cover-up. Easy to work in the round, in an arrangement of Garter Stitch and wrapped stitches, it will drape you with just enough welcome warmth.

In its shorter version, it becomes a shoulder capelet, ready to adorn and shimmer over a simple tank top or summery blouse.
