It’s Poncho Time: Upcycled Sweater Project

It’s poncho time. Keep your little kids toasty warm this winter season with a poncho. 

Whether your littles are playing, at school, or just hanging out at home, a poncho is a great lightweight covering that isn’t too bulky or constricting.

These ponchos are super easy to make from upcycled sweaters and all kinds of fleece.

Dress it up with a soft fleece flower, decorative trims, or other fun embellishments.

I put a few of my felted wool sweater balls on this one.

Mix and match colors to create a one-of-a-kind, whimsical, fun, playful poncho they will love wearing.

The neck binding is easy to sew and made with cozy fleece that fits comfortably and easily over the head.

Just think of all the different color combinations and fun contrasting neck bindings you can create.
