Head Honcho Poncho

Finally, here she is, in her 'Head Honcho Poncho' (from Zoe Mellor's 'Nursery Knits' book)

It's not quite as big as I was hoping (and the lady's going through a growth spurt) but I hope she'll be wearing it for a good while yet, until it starts to look a bit silly!

For those of you that might be interested, I knitted it using Cascades 220 Yarn, 5 different coloured skeins.  It was a heavier weight than the pattern called for but I used the same size needles so it just knitted up a bit denser... and warmer.  My mum gets the credit for the neck as I went into panic mode when the pattern didn't match the picture.

The hat was a 50c thrift store find.
