My poncho
It is done! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! It was done last week but could’t share it because the children ( all 3 ) were sick at home. Today the girls feel better and are back to school. Baby Joe is still at home but he is feeling much better too 🙂 So, today, life is good again and I thought about sharing with you my poncho 🙂
You know that I don’t like to see myself in pics so this is me without the head 🙂
I think I will not wear it outside the house… It will be a kind of “wearable blanket” that keeps me warm while I move around 🙂
Hubby is jealous 😉
It was crocheted with a 100% acrylic yarn called Nako Vizon. It is very similar to the Stylecraft DK but a little little bit thicker. The hook used is a 4.5 mm one.
A white background would be better for this pic I know…
The squares of this poncho were joined as-I-g0. I did the front and the back separately and sew them together at the end. You can find the chart of the squares on the right sidebar of my blog under the name : circle in a square. (I don’t know why I can not make a proper link here 🙂 Sometimes I just don’t understand this computer 🙂
Some close up pics 🙂
with curious little hands 🙂
I used the moss stitch to make the edging. (1sc-1ch-1sc etc etc ) and added some picots for the last round 😉
Did I say that I am in love with my poncho? No not yet…
Well… I AM MADLY TOTALLY TRULY IN LOVE WITH MY PONCHO.
I am right now wearing it while writing this post 🙂 and I want to make two more for the girls 🙂 Maybe with a thinner yarn and without the black background of course … We’ll see 😉
Until then stay warm (under a blanket or a poncho)
and have a beautiful sunshiny and colorful day!
Love

I love it:) byebye
WOW, congratulations! What a lot of beautiful work!
You should not have cut your head off though, Angie, you are very photogenic!
Sorry your kids were sick; means you were on the job day and night, apart from hating to see them unwell!
Very beautiful!
Beautiful!! It will be nice and cosy. Glad your babies are all feeling better :). xx
Gorgeous!!!!

I congratulate Anghie! You well done! Very beautiful work, carry with pleasure!
Absolutely love it!
Think I need one!
Beautiful. Love it.
Love the idea of a poncho to wear around the house! I’m so glad that your children are feeling better; it’s so difficult when they are all ill at the same time. Thank you so much for sharing, I look forward to making my “house poncho”:)
Wonderful – so cosy and pretty. Such a bright and beautiful poncho has got to make you feel happy while wearing it. Hope it keeps you nice and warm! Great job, thanks for showing it too us, it’s lovely.
Wonderful. It looks that very snuggly.

Stunning, lovely poncho! I hope sometime I’ll come around to do one for myself, although I’ll better wait until it gets colder here – in Brazil we’re having an exceptionally hot summer. Glad your children are better, it’s a horrible feeling as a mother to see your little ones suffer….
Lots of kisses and hugs from Brazil

Angie,
Hermoso ¡¡¡ no puedo decir otra cosa, quedó super lindo ¡¡¡ se ve muy alegre y con el fondo negro los colores resaltan mucho más….
Cariños…
it’s gorgeous!
Excellent work, girl ! I love your patterns. Glad your little ones are better. Best wishes from a great-granny in Cape Town, South Africa.
What a beautiful poncho. The black really makes the colors “pop” as they say. It’s very flattering!
I know what you mean about not wanting to see yourself in pics. I was always that way, too. It wasn’t until my children were grown that I realized how few pictures there were of me in them, and that my children might really want to see what I looked like when I was a young mother — particularly how I was looking at them and interacting with them. So, now I try to take pictures of myself with my children, showing them affection, etc. even though I still HATE seeing myself in pictures! LOL 🙂
Wow that’s beautiful and will certainly keep you nice and warm. xox
It’s very pretty. Glad to hear that your children are feeling better. Have a good day. 🙂
I love it! You do beautiful work & quickly too. Very lovely.
It’s gorgeous! You did beautiful work!
MUY PRECIOSO Y LOS COLORES ADORABLES

Love your poncho, really love to make one. Can you tell me how many squares did you need?
A big hello from Australia
Yay! This has turned out so well, it is beautiful! What gorgeous work… I think I would never take it off xx
It’s very beautiful. Would it be possible to send me the square in symbols? I’d like to make myself something similar.

Hi everyone, it’s my first pay a visit at this site, and article is truly fruitful for me, keep up posting such articles or reviews.
Congratulations on finishing your happy poncho. I admire your work. I am currently adding black borders to 63 sunburst granny squares that I’ll soon join to make a lap blanket. I think I have 15 more. I need to think about a border. I’m glad your children are all feeling better. Alexine in Maryland, USA
