Rainbow poncho

I have been attempting to finish off projects that have been languishing unloved and unfinished for a little while.  I’d started this one off with great enthusiasm but slowed down when others took my interest.  It was started in late August but not finished until mid October (just in time for warmer weather…hmmmm).

Clare's rainbow poncho

Clare went wild in the cheap yarn stash and chose nine colours to make up a rainbow. Three (or four) of the yarns are 8 ply wool, the rest are cheap acrylic (ick). But the overall result is quite effective!

Clare's rainbow poncho

It’s basically like a granny square but with a hole in the centre and only two corners. The border is a few rows of hdc. Add a couple of pom-poms to the front and voila! Doesn’t that take you back to the 70s?
