lot of ideas…for knitting ponchos.

I like this book for a couple of reasons.

1. There are poncho’s I want to to knit and
2. The instructions do not look complicated.

It would be nice if the projects were updated, but not that important.

This is a small, half-sized book with small photos that often cut off the ponchos in weird places. Get out your magnifying glass to read the small font if you want to make one of these ponchos.

Cute designs and easy to follow!

Wondeful patterns, nice easy to read format with great full color pictures. The only bummer? There are too many great patterns to choose from! This is the 3rd time I've checked this one out from my local library, so if I can't decide soon, I'll probably be adding this one to my "to buy" list. Oh and there are kids and adult patterns in here!

Great adaptable and basic patterns. The first one I did was Eleanore and I am thrilled with how it came out. I can't wait to get started on Greta.

Looking for a hooded poncho? This book has that too as well as instructions on how to make appropriate modifications to other designs.

There are a few really simple things in here I could already make, and a couple of cute things to work on in the future.
