Design A542 - Vanilla & Flamingo Pink Poncho

So, I am done with the Colinette Banyan yarns for now. I am now using just the Drops Cotton Light yarns in two different colours to make the last few ponchos that I have planned at this time. This one is in Vanilla and Flamingo Pink.

Flamingo Pink

The design consists of six crochet panels, which are then joined together to form a cohesive piece. Additional crochet is added to both the top and bottom, and the piece is finished off with fringing/tassels.

The panels are joined in a way that creates a visible, textured line of stitches between each panel, and are an integral part of the design. The poncho is designed to be worn square, allowing a whole crochet panel to drape and cover each arm. However, it also looks good when worn in the traditional triangular poncho style, if you prefer. The construction is designed primarily for the square method. It is pretty generous in size but isn't overly long in the body length, so depending on your bust size, it may only just cover "your girls" if you're quite busty, or it may hang down to your waist if you're quite petite. It is designed for adults. Please pay attention to the measurements across the neck opening and measure around the top of the breastplate/shoulders, including the arms, to ensure it stays in place without falling straight off you or the person you are buying it for and landing on the ground.

I didn't take any work-in-progress photos. I began on 23rd April and finished on 26th April 2026. The overall fibre content on this one is 50% Cotton, 50% Polyester. The measurements are 14" across the neck, for a 28" opening and 14" from the neck to the bottom of the crochet (not including the tassels). I have enough yarn left over of both yarns to make more things in the future.

This is the fourth and final poncho made using Colinette Banyan in the multi-coloured/multi-toned Blue Saturn, which is 49% Cotton, 51% Viscose. The cotton yarn is Yarnsmiths Cotton DK, which is 100% Cotton, in the Dark Denim Blue colourway to complement the colours in the Blue Saturn colourway.

The measurements are 16" across the neck, for a 32" opening and 15" from the neck to the bottom of the crochet (not including the tassels). I have enough yarn left over of both yarns to make more things in the future.

Design A542 - Blue Saturn & Wild Orchid Poncho

I've made another poncho, using Colinette Banyan in the multi-coloured/multi-toned Blue Saturn colourway, which is 49% Cotton, 51% Viscose. The cotton blend yarn is Drops Cotton Light, which is 50% Cotton, 50% Polyester, and I chose the Wild Orchid colourway to complement the pink tones in the Blue Saturn colourway. This is the third poncho using Blue Saturn for the panels, and I have plans for one more after this one.

The measurements are 13.5" across the neck, for a 27" opening and 14" from the neck to the bottom of the crochet (not including the tassels). I have enough yarn left over of both yarns to make more things in the future.

Design A542 - Blue Saturn & Petrol Poncho

I've been busy with a personal project these past few months, since Christmas, but that is now finished and I am back to making again. I've picked up where I left off and made another poncho, using Colinette Banyan again for the panels. It is not quite a vintage yarn, but it is no longer part of their current range. The second yarn is a new cotton blend yarn. 

So, the yarns I have put together for this poncho are the multi-coloured/multi-toned Banyan Blue Saturn, it's a cone of 500g and I had two of them, which is 49% Cotton, 51% Viscose. The cotton blend yarn is Drops Cotton Light, which is 50% Cotton, 50% Polyester, and I chose the Petrol colourway to complement the colours in the Blue Saturn colourway.
