Notes

12-28-2021

Since Erinn fell in love with the first poncho I made using this pattern, I gave that one to her and decided to make this new one for me.
For expediency sake, I am going with aran weight yarn this time (rather than fingering) - but actually very similar colors!

12-29-2021

Got this going nicely today. And will probably widen the stripes of MC as I progress down toward the bottom. Also thinking about adding buttons and loops to create arm openings at the hem somehow.

01-20-2022

Finished first skein of tan yarn so going to do the ribbed neckband next.

01-22-2022

Neck band 2x2 ribbing done. Back to the body of the poncho. Increased the stripes by 4 rows of stockinette, so continuing doing increases on every 4th row.

03-23-2022

Finally finished - actually like the fit! Ended up doing a 2x2 ribbing in the black at the bottom to match the same size ribbing in taupe at the neck.
Fits nicely!
