Knitted Baby Poncho 13

Pretty Poncho:

Fig 1

Hi friends,

In 2011, when I went to USA  for the delivery of my daughter,  I took hand made 3-4 small sweaters, one crochet frock, baby blanket etc with me. I lived there 3 months. After the delivery I used to get some free time. In the cupboard of my daughter, I saw this wool waiting for being knitted ( My daughter also knits, crochet and tat etc). I asked her whether I could use it? Of course she permitted. Then as sweaters, frock have done already but poncho was not made so I decided to make poncho.


Poncho: I searched for the poncho pattern and I got this,

Yarn used in the link was multicoloured but I have single coloured yarn so I used contrast colour border and two tassels at neck and then mixed colour fringes to the bottom edging. She wore this poncho till she was 4 years old.

First time I made I-card for this poncho and I liked it so much that later on I used it so many times.

Cap: The cap should look matching with poncho, so I decided to use two colours in the pattern I found on net,

I-cord: For i-cord I used the following link,

Pom-Pom: I generally made pom pom by the old iron ring as shown in fig 3, which I have at Amravati. So I made this pom-pom simply on hands.

I have recently started you tube channel "Kalopasak" in Marathi with subtitles in English.
So this video is from the you tube channel Kalopasak, which explains how to make pom-pom.

Recently when I was video chatting with her, what I saw!!! she wore that poncho as a skirt. 😛. (Colour change due to video chat screen)

This use of poncho, I never knew 😜.
