Description

Retro fashion is fun. This hooded poncho in the 1960s style is perfect for Julie, or today’s girl. Poncho slips over the head with yarn poms poms for ties. So sixties! If you prefer a current take on a poncho, use ribbon or a clasp in the front. View 2 has a Cowl Neck with an easy one-piece hat. For both views the front and back can be cut on the fold, or on the bias to create a “V” in the front. Fringe can be cut when using a non-fraying knit, or you can turn it under, hem it and add a trim. It’s an easy over the head style even the younger kids can do; loose fitting so it will fit most 18” dolls and Bitty Baby® too.

Recommended Fabrics:  Mid weight non-fraying knit fabric with at least a 4” to 6” stretch, or micro fleece. (Regular fleece doesn’t work well as it is too thick.)
