I love the idea of the poncho tops. It is an easy on/off item. When I saw this pattern from McCall's, I knew it would be the perfect item for my Mom who has congestive heart failure. Here is the original post from my fall roundup. Here is the pattern:
Now this item takes a lot of fabric. The first version was view A in a recommended size of XL and a little short even for my 4'11" Mom. The fabric used is from Joann Fabrics. I was very disappointed in this fleece as it was described as a cabled fleece but it was really a printed fleece. It is still a color my Mom is very happy with. Here is the first version on me:
As you can see this is really big. It is actually the recommended size for me. Just for reference, I'm 5'5". If another version is made, I think we will be moving down a couple of sizes to a M.
I see versions of this in knitted cables all the time. Everyone seems to love them. I think I would like one of these for myself but the right fabric needs to be located.
Happy Stitching!
