I am finished, and just in time! I was able to take my completed poncho on my Alaskan cruise to enjoy in the cool weather. It was the perfect place for its “maiden voyage”.
I’m glad I went on a cruise because temperatures in Arizona have not been very conducive to a poncho photo shoot. The temperatures have been up around 110 degrees!
I really like the design on the front and back. The holes give a little peek a boo to whatever shirt is underneath.
I am so happy with the addition of the danglies on the edges. I like them so much better than the tassels that the pattern called for. I have the instructions for them here.
I had a lot of fun in Juneau posing for these photos. My sister in law, Michelle, did a great job snapping the camera:)
There is nothing like a poncho, a hat, and a pair of sunglasses to classy up a pair of jeans:). SWEET!
I really enjoyed making this poncho. The pattern was designed by Alexandra Tavel @ Two of Wands and is free. Thank you Alexandra!
Here are my progress posts in case you are interested in seeing the progress of this poncho-
It always feels good to finish a project. I’m so glad you have followed along. It’s a T-Sweets Day for sure!!
Until next time–
beautiful poncho and a gorgeous model!

Thank you so much! This poncho was so fun to make. I’m sure it will be the go to jacket for the winter. But until then it is just going to have to be a throw on my chair because AZ is way too hot for ponchos right now. Lol!😊

It looks perfect: cosy without being too heavy, and nice and swoopy. You were totally right about the danglies, they really finish off the edge beautifully.

I’m hoping to do some knitting of clothes for the husband & I to wear, once the cooler weather arrives, but I’ll admit that crochet (for me) is still limited very much to amigurumi
