babywearing poncho pattern

[Alison]

I'm familiar with the one from LTK. Are there any other patterns for something like this? I'm trying to search ravelry, but haven't found anything else yet (although I haven't exhausted my searching skills yet!). I thought I'd ask here, since it is a very MDC knits kind of thing!

I'm not recalling another specific babywearing poncho pattern.

I've read of possibly taking a regular poncho pattern and modifying it to have two holes.

Seems like maybe the LTK pattern is the only one. I just didn't want to spend $15 on a pattern that I really will only knit once. Guess I will have to if I want to knit a babywearing poncho!

I had always intended to knit myself one on the diagonal - starting on the corner, and increasing stitches on every row. Basically, K3, YO, Knit to the end, flip and repeat. And then do a v-neck for the baby's head opening, and then a diamond in the middle for my head. This way I had a V-neck in the front, no matter which way I wore it.

I haven't started it yet.... maybe this winter!

So just to update and bring the thread full circle, I ended up buying the LTK pattern. Figure it's a WAHM, she's also giving some of the profit to the designer who inspired her poncho, so got to respect that too. I've been pretty good about not spending lately, so I decided to splurge!

You can use the pattern again. I've made ponchos for my friends' girls and neices using the math in the pattern. It works for any size.

Yes,I was thinking I could use it again. And little kid ponchos would be fairly quick and easy to knit.
