I like the poncho I made a few days ago so much that I decided to make a second one. This time, I chose some vintage Jaeger Mohair Silk yarn that I bought in 2014; it was already quite old back then.
I have this yarn in two colours, black and red, and it is composed of 78% Mohair, 17% Wool, and 5% Silk.
I didn't take any work-in-progress photos this time, so get ready to be blasted back to the late 1980s/early 1990s for this very retro look. I love the squared look, but it also looks good when worn in the traditional triangular poncho style. I began making this on 30th August and finished on 2nd September 2025.
The measurements of this one are larger than the first one I made. The measurement across the neck is 16", giving a very generous 32" opening, and the length from the neck to the bottom of the crochet is also 16" (not including the tassels). Being made from Mohair, not everyone will be able to tolerate the fibres in this one; it can be itchy for many people, but it is very fluffy, warm, and snuggly if you can tolerate Mohair.
