COOL PONCHO

[OpheliaStar]

I found a free pattern to make a poncho with lion brand Incredible yarn, which is more like ribbon than yarn but i digress. I didn't really like how the poncho looked, so I decided to just make my own with the same yarn. I think it turned out pretty nice, although i made it a little too big so I had to put a little tie onto it to keep it from falling off my shoulders.



Me as a model:



Thanks for looking!

That turned out lovely!  What size hook did you use?

Thats very nice.  I've always wondered what to do with the ribbon yarn.

i used an N hook. it was pretty hard to hold after doing a project with a G hook, but it worked well with the ribbon yarn.

That is so pretty!  My mom made me ponchos to wear when I was a wee-one.  Your pics remind me how much I still love them.  How many balls of the ribbon yarn did you use?  Plus, do you have any tips on washing and drying?

that's really lovely! does the tie scrunch up the poncho very much?

I used almost 6 balls of the Incredible yarn. Luckily I found it when it was on sale for only 2 bucks a ball. As for washing it, I haven't tried to yet but the instructions on the label for the yarn say hand wash and don't machine dry so it looks like it's gonna be a project in it self to clean it.

It does a little bit in the very top front, but as long as I keep the tie loose it's not very noticable.

I'm glad you all like it

2 bucks a ball is a great price.  After reading that I went to my local Michaels and low and behold they had it for 2 dollars each, too!  Said they were closing out.  Yikes, I wonder if it's just them not wanting to carry it or if the manufacturer isn't going to make it anymore?
