I probably shouldn’t mention this because then you will know just how old I am but I can’t believe ponchos are back in fashion. Yes I did have one and no I didn’t make it, of course I loved mine and was a little sad when they were no longer popular. This one isn’t a warm one; it is more of a sort of “Fashion Statement”. I did a little something different with the fringe but you can, of course, just put regular fringe all around. It does work up quite fast and only takes about 4 1/2 ounces of worsted weight yarn to make so you may be tempted to make several, oh go ahead, you deserve it!!!

End off Weave in all ends Fringe: Please use Crochet Kims method for cutting fringe. I put the yarn fringe in every other space. Then I cut the fabric (45 wide side) into strips approx 1/2 wide. Now cut the 1/2 wide 45 inch strip in half, attach same way to every other space exactly like you do the yarn fringe.
