I tried out the pattern with some leftover microspun. It isn't too hard for me
(a beginner at crochet) but I did run out of the microspun with a mini poncho
completed - so I either need to get more or try with something else. Actually
while I don't like working with that yarn as it tends to split easily, I have
to admit it feels good and has a nice drape to it. The pattern is quite
forgiving as it can easily be ripped back when I find a mistake.


I am going to attempt this one as well. My daughter wants one, so why not
try. I had printed this from the same site. There are others on the same
site that are pretty cute for little ones.

This is the one my roommate and I are making:
http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com...poshponcho.php

Both the patterns we considered making are new patterns, not vintage ones.
The popular ponchos are mostly the more open, just for fashion, not for
warmth type garments. They're also shorter than a lot of the vintage
patterns I found. This one works up pretty quick; after you get past the
band at the top, it goes very fast...last night was slow crocheting
because
I had to keep stopping to help my roommate with her crocheting...at least
that's going better than the knitting lesson I tried to give last winter!

Heya everyone,

I lurk in this group a lot :-). Just wanted to ask about the crocheted
ponchos which are supposedly in fashion right now - what do they look
like?
Any pictures that I could look at?

Thanks,
Angela
