Little Red

I finished a few projects at the end of the summer that I am finally getting around to posting. First up, the Little Red Poncho.

Little Red poncho

Just the cutest little one ever, if you ask me. I might be biased. Halloween costume + warm layer for the fall/winter. I knitted a size 2, so hopefully she'll get some use out of it next fall too.

Free Pattern: Knitted Poncho with hood by Drops Design
Yarn: Pattons Classic Wool in Bright Red, doubled threads

I knitted i-cord instead of crochet for the string, and added pom-poms to the ends. I also changed the finished edge to bind-off in the seed stitch pattern. Thanks to all the adorable little red ponchos on Ravelry for the idea and inspiration.

Autumn, bring it on!

Absolutely adorable! She just couldn't be any cuter in it. She'll be the perfect Little Red Riding Hood. (I'm assuming.) I just decided yesterday what I need to make for Halloween - you're far ahead of me!

So sweet I actually knitted this same pattern for my daughter in a peach shade, but I never seamed and finished it! Can you believe that? Well I guess if I have another baby girl someday it will be for her. I love the idea of the Little Red costume!
