Ice Queen Poncho

My daughter is finally old enough to appreciate ponchos. It was Maya’s idea to design one after her class used ponchos at school as a prop for their end of the year show. I was reminded daily for the whole summer, and here it is! Maya is so delighted with her poncho and wears it to school every morning.

The poncho is constructed from 2 rectangular pieces that are easily adjustable to your child’s measurements.  This design has an endless possibility of color combinations.  You can use one color, variegated colors, and several colors.  What I liked the most is the fact that I was able to get rid of so much scrap yarn, and so can you.  The design can be worked with any yarn and any gauge.

Have fun and enjoy your colors!

Size	Arm Length	Total Yarn Required (yds)
		DK	Aran
XS (baby)	6-8”	500	400
Small (toddler)	7-10”	600	500
Medium (child)	10-13”	750	650
Large (teen)	13-16”	950	850
XLarge (adult)	15-18”	1200	1100

Note: You will need approximately equal amounts of each color. Count trim color as an extra color. For example, if your total yardage is 800 yds and you are using 7 colors, then count the one that will be part of a trim as another color (8^th color in this case), thus each color is 100 yds and trim is 200 yds.
