I’ve finished the “Die Kleine Diana” poncho, made out of Fumo, by Lana Grossa. I really like that wispy-felty yarn, the stitch pattern, too. Concerning the pattern itself, I’m not sure. Although I had been keen on having an asymmetrical poncho for some time now. Anyway it’s as lightweight to wear as it was absolutely simple to crochet.

I’ve got a new pattern. It’s from a german crochet magazine called “Die Kleine Diana”. Hurray!

This poncho was laying around here for a while now and was waiting for it’s tassels. I had been run out of yarn (”Goa” by ggh). This is what always happens to me. Regardless of how much yarn I buy, it’s not enough as a matter of principle! Friday I managed to get adequate supply and yesterday evening I tasseled until the poncho was finished. I’m definitely proud of myself!
By the way, I got the pattern (sorry, it’s written in german) online: That is to say Here.

My very first crochet project was - I’m sure you already guessed it - a Poncho. For practical reasons, it was one in baby size. The classic granny square pattern is just great for beginners. I found a pattern for a similar adult poncho at hipvintagecrochet.com in the freely, as pdf file downloadable, magazin “Learn to Crochet”. This little publication also covers all general techniques and stitches besides many patterns for wearables and acessoires. By the way, did I mention, that I collect patterns from the 60’s and 70’s?
Anyway, this poncho is almost one yeare old now and it still fits his little owner. Sorry for the blurry pictures.
