The first and last garment I made for a boy was the Dreamer Poncho. It was a project my amateur crochet self made just to try my hands at garment making; that’s why it is in only one size.
For the longest time, my boys have been asked for me to make them a piece. Especially our younger son who is the advocate in our family. It dawned on me that I had made nothing for them for years. I’ve concentrated so much on the outside world that I’ve neglected to create items for my own people. This had to change, thus I decided to start with our sons and extend it to other family and friends.
The Yarn
I really love the feel and texture of the scheepjes chunky monkey yarn. It is wonderfully soft and squishy and comes in an array of marvelous colours. It is also an anti-pilling yarn- this means it does not grow balls of fiber after use or washings. It is a thick acrylic yarn which is classed as aran weight.
If this yarn is not easily available to you it can be substituted with Premier Yarns Bamboo Chunky or Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky as long as it fits the pattern gauge.
