The Cozy Cape

This charming little hooded poncho is the very first garment I created for my baby girl, Ariella. Just in time for winter, she was in dire need of a cozy, chunky poncho to keep her warm! Crafted from the bottom-up with minimal seaming, this versatile pattern fits sizes ranging from 0-3 months to 4 years, making it perfect for all the little ones in your life. Using 8mm circular needles and super bulky weight yarn, you’ll find that this poncho comes together quickly and easily. This pattern is designed with instructions for sizes 0-3 months, 6-9 months, 12-18 months, 2T, and 3/4T, allowing you to create adorable gifts for family and friends. Although this pattern is slightly above beginner level, I believe any determined beginner can tackle it with a little perseverance! It includes helpful links to video tutorials for most techniques, ensuring that you have all the guidance needed to succeed. If you feel comfortable putting stitches on hold, working a three-needle bind-off, and performing decrease stitches, you will undoubtedly be able to create this lovely poncho without any issues. Whether you're looking to add a sweet, handmade touch to your child's winter wardrobe or create a unique gift that will be cherished, this chunky hooded poncho pattern will surely become a favorite among knitters of all skill levels. Dive into this delightful project and keep your little ones wrapped in warmth and style!
