Lastly, this crocheted girl's cardigan is a vest, a poncho and everything else in between. Moreover, it's simple, circular shape will be a cinch to work up.
The full Youtube tutorial about this pattern is here:
Ragged Falls Poncho
This time of year is tough in Northern Ontario. The mornings are below freezing, but the afternoons warm up nicely, although there is still a definite chill to the wind. Perfect poncho weather! You can slip it easily over your head, they are cinch to layer over clothing, and everyone loves the way they fan out when you twirl. Who can argue with that?! Please note that all my patterns are written in standard American terms.
Lucky Penny Poncho (child)
The Lucky Penny Crochet Poncho Pattern in Child sizes is here!!! I seriously love ponchos, don't you? They are perfect year round. Not sure what I mean? When Spring is here and it's too cold for a t-shirt, but too warm for a coat, a poncho has you covered! When you just need something over your shoulders to beat the chill from the a/c, what about a poncho? And let's not forget about a poncho, perfect for the transition back to colder temps. This of course leads me to the Lucky Penny Poncho. The perfect cold weather friend. The squishy yarn, dense fabric, and cushiony cowl make this a go-to design for Winter.
Americana Vest
This beginner friendly crochet vest is perfect for beginners! You'll only need to know the double crochet and chain stitches. The vest is worked in three rectangular panels: two blue front panels, and one red and white striped back panel. You'll just have four short seams to join it! The instructions are written for a 4T toddler girl's size, but I have included instructions for how to customize the vest to ANY size. I haven't posted photos, but my adult Women's Large sized vest only used two skeins of blue, and one each of red and white, also. If you need additional guidance, please leave me a blog comment! If I have a few requests, I'd be happy to provide a fully sized pattern in the future,or just give you tips for finding measurements.
