2016 Marly Bird Popular Poncho Crochet Along

After a lot of work we have wrapped up the 2016 Marly Bird Popular Poncho Crochet Along, sponsored by Red Heart Yarns. Thank you to everyone who participated. I had a great time and I hope that you did too. There were so many BEAUTIFUL renditions of this pattern that I pulled together as many finished ponchos from our Facebook Group as I could find to share with you.

As a recap the 2016 Marly Bird Popular Poncho Crochet Along was a 4 part series. Each section included the pattern and a video tutorial, you can see each link below. The sample ponchos were made from Red Heart’s Unforgettable yarn. I also offered you four options for the collar and four options for finishing. You could have made the poncho as a crew neck, simple cowl neck, dramatic cowl neck, or turtle neck. There was also the choice of adding a plain edge, scalloped edge, fringe or dreadlock fringe.

If you haven’t started your Poncho yet now is the perfect time to start. The tutorial videos are there to help you though your journey. Take the time to subscribe to my YouTube channel and Facebook page to get updates on when the Spring 2017 Knit Along will start.
