I think I have plenty of scarves that if I wanted something to go around my
neck, I could find something easily! I think, though, because of the
openness of this pattern, this poncho will definitely be a fall garment.
Weather here never seems to be in between; it will be nice and comfortable
one week and super chilly the next!

Kristen???
have you comsidered adding a collar ,,, or a kind of small shawl colar
one could wrap around the neck in the colder days ??

Definitely more fashion than practical! The one good thing about the
pattern I made is that the band around the top is tightly crocheted, so
it
does give some warmth to your shoulders--just perfect for a nice fall
day,
or when you're stuck in a building with too cool of a temperature!

Beads would be an interesting addition! I've never done beaded crochet,
but
I can imagine that it would take what seems like forever to string all
the
beads on before starting!

Thanks so much! I had a great time looking through the links, and the
links
from the links, and so on *laugh*. So that's what the fashion ponchos
look
like - more decorative and fishnet-like than practical!

Just had an idea - I think putting in tiny shiny beads would make the
poncho
"shimmer" and look even more glamourous. Hmm! Time for me to learn how
to
add beads to my stitches.

Hugs,
Angela
