This poncho will steal your heart when worn by the special young miss in your life. AND knit the doll-sized version as a bonus she'll love! (Fits American Girl dolls and other dolls of similar size.)

Tons of sweet details embellish a simple shape and maximize the cute factor!

The front and back feature a pretty cabled heart center panel with smaller cables on either side. Side slits allow for easy arm movement.

Front patch pockets are added to store little treasures. And a chain stitch tie with fluffy pom poms adds a fun, whimsical touch at the neck.

Plus, this cuddly warm poncho is knit up in one piece (except for the pockets) from the bottom up. For gorgeous color impact, knit it in the kettle-dyed Malabrigo Worsted yarn as shown – you'll also love the feel of this yarn as you knit.

Doll poncho features the same cute heart cable and mini pom poms! Doll poncho included in this pattern OR can be purchased separately.
