This is my first bit of crochet in a while since life has been pretty busy...
Tilly asked for a poncho like her sister's (which had been given to her from a cousin) so I decided to try making one. I have some rainbow colours left from making the unicorn, and she loves everything rainbow.
I made this one up as I went along, it was pretty easy. It starts with a ribbed cuff for the top by doing rows of 8, alternating between normal single crochet for one row then single crochet on the back loop for the next row.
Then it was double crochet around the edge of the cuff. Each additional row I increased once in the front and once in the back where the "point" appears. The increase alternated between 3 stitches in the middle of the increase on the previous row, then on the next row 2 stitches in each of the 2 spaces if the last row's increasing triplet.
Finally tie on tassels using a lark's head knot.
She loves it, it was super easy and pretty quick (3 evenings) and we all love it. Her sister is even a bit jealous and has already said she wants her own rainbow one.
