I think I picked up this free pattern before I was even pregnant with Isabele. I couldn't help myself. I figured that sooner or later I would have an occasion to make it. So it went in my stash of stuff.
While looking for Tacky Glue for another project yesterday at Wal-Mart, I saw this great chunky yarn that I knew would be just perfect for that pattern that I got a couple years ago. Now that Isabele is walking, I knew it would work great.
Here's the pattern link: http://www.caron.com/projects/q/toddler_poncho.pdf
I got all the knitting done last night. I made the tie, pompoms and fringe this morning.
Here are a few pictures of the end result.
I had put the broom away and was trying to get a couple more pictures of Isabele, who still doesn't pose very well, unless she is 2 inches from the camera. All the faces are because wants the broom and the dustpan back. So, please ignore the whining faces and just look at the poncho.





I love it! I have an urge to try knitting because you and Hannah make such great stuff! Plus it takes up less space than sewing and in our little apartment that's a huge deal :-)
