Easy and comfortable, this poncho starts with raglan shaping after a turtle neckline, and then continues in gentle A-line shaping. The name comes from the fact that we live at the edge of Hamilton mountain, and close to Ridgeline Road.
The detail at the chest of Garter ridges and the bamboo rib stitch also lend themselves to the name :) The poncho is written for 5-6” of positive ease for a loose fitting garment that goes comfortably over other layers.
