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 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!
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?
So gorgeous. My Mum made us lovely ponchos like that too, but ours always had tassels on the bottom.
Love it Lara she looks gorgeous
It is so cute. I know your daughter loves it. I am all concerned about those long ties about the neck. Outerwear usually no longer comes with long neck cords due to the fear of possible entrapment. Just a loving thought.
I love this poncho – looks wonderful on Clare.
Know what you mean about acrylics, especially cheap ones – eeekkkkk. I am on the last few gifted balls and then ALL GONE!!!! Yeah
Soo pretty, and Clare, as usual, is adorable!
it’s done! congratulations!
and what’s more clare is wearing it wahoo!
