Easy Knitting Poncho Pattern
This is not an easy knitting poncho pattern, but I wanted you to see what can be done with a bit of practice. Below you will find a pattern for a Loom knit pattern for a child and a hand knit pattern for a doll.
This knitting poncho pattern is one I adapted for the loom. I found the original pattern on a Bernat leaflet hanging at the yarn store display. Of course it was originally knit on needles.

I wanted to make this up for my grand daughter. Since I knit much faster with the looms I decided to use one of them instead of the needles to make this a quick project. If you are looking for an easy and quick gift, this is perfect.
This was knit on my homemade loom we call our Po' Folks Loom</b></a>. You can use any small gauge loom that has at least 31 pegs. The yarn I used was regular Lion Brand Wooleze.
