Handknit PONCHO

Knitting again with a lovely very light in weight yarn. The moda vera Mountain Chalet yarn. It has a labeled tension of 16 stitches times 22 rows on 6mm needles to give you a 10cm by 10cm square.

This works for the lovely poncho I knitted in stocking stitch on 8mm needles.  I will have to knit myself one now. I dud cast on with 6mm needles as I tend to have a large loopy cast on edge otherwise.

I cast on 60 stitches, to give a poncho 50cm wide. Knit it to length 80cm. Make two.

Sew up one end to one side and then the other side in reverse. To give you a head hole of about 30cm times two equals 60cm round hole. This will fit over most heads.  If not, knit a little longer in the length...

Here is a guide to sew up...sew together one end to the side of the other.

The scratchy sewing diagram.

And here are picture of the finished garment...

I then placed a few cross stitches on the joins to add a little colour, along with a crocheted rose, for a little more red...What do you think?

I love it. Beautiful, light and warm...

Oh baby!

For my sweet little brand new niece, gorgeous baby girl.

I have used the seasonal Catalogue stamp set Baby, We've Grown. 

and the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set...so versatile.

The colours came together so well.

Daffodil Delight, Basic Grey, Smoky Slate, Melon Mambo for the girly bit and Whisper White.

Love it.

And to go with these cute little beanies...(click here for free pattern)

The bottom one for a toddler I cast on 100 stitches and knitted a length of 14cm before decreasing. The top baby beanie I cast on 80 stitches and knitted a length of 12cm before decreasing.
