Poncho CAL

[amalin06]

Hi I am trying to wing it and make a poncho for myself. All the patterns I have seen are short and I want a really long one so I got a bunch of different ideas and i am making my own. if anyone wants to join me and wing it or make one from a pattern please join me here are some links to my favorite ones that I might make also.

Hi, I'd love to join you! I have some self striping yarn that I think would make a really nice Spring/Summer poncho but haven't decide on a pattern. I'll take a look at some of the links you have and see if one of those will work.

 

What yarn are you going to use?

I'm using Homespun Prarie it's really pretty and it stripes on it's own too. it goes from orange to blue,purple , brown and a couple other colors. I picked it out cause it will look good with jeans and I'm trying to grow the dye out of my hair and it will match my natural haircolor which is blondish brown.

 

Here's another link that I like See I like the long ponchos

I've seen that yarn and it's really pretty! I really liked the Arizona poncho...what a cool design! I'm going to do that one with the yarn I have. I'm pretty sure I'll have enough.

Yeah I'm sending my husband to walmart tomorrow morning to pick me up 3 more things of yarn since my calculations were incorrect lol, but i should be done with this one hopefully by sunday afternoon cause i want to wear it to my parents for easter. But I plan on making a couple more to sell at the craft fair. I'm not gonna make them from any of those patterns since copyrite and all but i've been studying those designs and I think I can come up with something by myself from what I've learned from all my favorites.

[amalin06]

I've run into a problem with the black and white poncho pattern and I emailed the designer, so now I am waiting for a responce. The poncho seems to be turning to the left on me and I think I know why but I emailed her to see if there is a correction.

[HappyBunny]

Hope it works out! I'm going to start the Arizona poncho on Monday now that I have enough yarn.

I have this one printed out too, I loved the length. In fact, I may already have the yarn purchased. Will try to dig through and if so I'll start with you.

[amalin06]

awsome tammy looking forward to see what you've come up with:P

[amalin06]

Got more yarn for my poncho yesterday so i'm on a roll now. plus I got a reply from the lady concerning the other poncho i'm making and she said the weight of the black and white poncho will even it out so everything is correct.

[niki2short05]

[amalin06]

I'm almost done with my first poncho. the other one i'm making i'm gonna email the designer and see if i can get her permission to sell it at a craft show next summer. if not i'm sure my mom would love to have it lol

Hi I just finished the Martha Stewart Coming home poncho for a friend in Homespun, I love it, I may have to make one for myself, But It could be continued to make it longer if you wanted to.

What I would like to make is a mother/daughter poncho’s any idea where to find them?

[HappyBunny]

I'm making the Arizona poncho too! I'm hoping to make some progress on it now that the weather is rainy again...

 

Tena, I just saw a mother/daughter poncho set but I'm not remembering where I saw it. I know it was online though....I'll see if I can figure out where I was. Maybe on crochetpatterncentral.com ?

Hi Ladies!

 

Count me in! I'm going to be making the Black & White Poncho using 3 colors(purple, yellow & white) instead of just 2. I'm hoping to also use this poncho as a nursing cover up when the baby comes in July. I'm off to get started right now, see you ladies soon!

[amalin06]

ally welcome. you know I never though to use a poncho as a cover up for nursing. I am 23 and my son's 2 but i never nursed him and my husband and I have been thinking about trying for another one here soon and i want to nurse if i can so I'll have to keep that in mind

[HappyBunny]

I need to put the Arizona poncho on hold...I thought I had enough yarn but it looks like I don't so will need to wait until I can get to the store.

[amalin06]

i only have 18 more rows to go and i'm done with poncho #1 yay I'll post a pic when I'm done

[amalin06]

i finished my first poncho, I just have to get my husband to take a picture of me in it lol

[amalin06]

Here's my first finished poncho

 

[amalin06]

i started another poncho, for myself. It's a variation of the black and white poncho. I didn't like all the holes in it so i started another one and took out the holes. once you have the collar down pat you can do alot of different stitches and make them all look different. I'll post pics as soon as i get the different colors in

[ginamaria73]

that looks great. it looks like it has sleeves..

[amalin06]

lol no it don't have sleeves that's just how it looks cause it's so big. but it's so warm I love it

[HappyBunny]

Love the colors you used!!
