Ponchos for a Little Girl

Using a pretty Bernat Baby yarn in pinks and yellows, I made this little poncho for a 2-yr-old girl in my church. I'm not too pleased with the poncho itself, but I love the yarn and the colors.



Having extra yarn, and extra energy, I decided to make a second poncho, slightly different and slightly larger, for the same girl.  



Unfortunately, I thought I had taken pictures of the second one after I finished it, but I didn't.

I do not have a pattern for either poncho, but I've made many like these over the years. When my youngest daughter was in kindergarten, she showed off her poncho and came home with 11 requests for similar ponchos. One of her friends wanted it in rainbow colors, another wanted it in pumpkin. Lucky for me, I had just received four large bags (big trash bags) full of yarn from a friend whose mother-in-law had passed away.
