I am looking and searching all over the internet to find a poncho pattern to print for Me!
All I am finding is crochet, knitting and childrens.
I need a womans size, like plus size.
Anyone have any links to share with me to a free printable pattern?
Thanks!

Welcome to SWN, Houseplantgirl! I don't have answer for you but wouldn't mind having a pattern either.

Hi Houseplant girl! And welcome to Sew What's New! :bluesmile

I was like you, didn't find a pattern that I really liked. Plus, I wanted a hood! So I made my own pattern.
You can find it on my blog, in November 2004:
http://e-zabelle.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_e-zabelle_archive.html
At the very bottom of the page you've got a pic of the poncho.
Then if you scroll up, you'll find "how to make a poncho (1)" : this describes the various styles of poncho.
Then, "how to make a poncho (2)" : the pattern and directions
Finally, "how to make a poncho (3)": adding a hood.
You will find another example of the finished poncho here (http://e-zabelle.blogspot.com/2004/12/so-many-things.html)

Hope this helps! Please, please send feedback if you use the pattern. I love to know when it is used, and to know whether it goes together fine for others as well! :bluesmile

Gina,

I made the turtleneck poncho for my daughter. She loves it..in fact all the teachers at her school wanted one. It is really easy to make too.

Oh Isabelle, exactly what I was looking for, I want to make a small version for my grand daughter, a water proof shell with fleece lining. It's perfect! Thanks for posting it. Laura
