The Cowl Neck Poncho features curved or straight sides, a cowl neck or cowl neck hood, optional kangaroo pocket, three hem lengths (petite, regular or tall), armhole slits and curved or straight side slits that you can raise or lower! With so many options, you will want to make more than one!

Here are OVER 30 WAYS to wear your poncho on our PINTEREST Board HERE.

Catherine’s Cowl Neck Poncho can be made in a knit fabric such as sweater knit, fleece, French terry, flannel, sweatshirt fleece, jersey, double brushed poly or similar. Make it in your favorite winter colors such as black, grey, camel or even burgundy or eggplant! You will want one to go with everything in your closet! 

Cozy does it! You will want to wrap yourself up in this poncho every day! 

No buttons needed! There are actual armholes / armhole slits for your arms so you wear it just like a top!

Last week I hope you enjoyed our Claire Cardigan SEW ALONG! You can check out all the posts HERE if you missed it! One customer suggested it would be great if it had a hood, so guess what?? Today I am showing you how to add a hood and giving you the pattern pieces for free! Grab them HERE and grab the cardigan HERE. 

Use coupon SAVE40 at checkout to get 

40% off your entire purchase!

Here's mine! Let's get started!

1. Print your pattern piece. Cut out the size you need.

 2.  Cut out 4 hood pattern pieces:

Cut out 2 hood pieces for your outer hood (one is a mirror image of the other – just flip over the pattern piece). Cut out 2 hood pieces for your hood lining (one is a mirror image of the other – just flip over the pattern piece). You have 4 hood pieces in all.

 3. Assemble the hood. Lay your two outer hood pieces right sides together and pin from the top edge of the hood down to the bottom edge of the hood along the curved edge only. Repeat with your two inner hood lining pieces. Sew along your pinned edges using a 1/2 inch seam allowance.

4. Place the hoods right sides together, matching the center seams. Pin along the

hood opening only. Sew around the hood opening using a 3/8 inch seam allowance.

5. Turn hood right side out and push lining into the main hood. Topstitch around the hood opening using a 1/8 inch seam allowance to secure the lining to the main fabric.

 6. Using your longest stitch, baste around the bottom edge/neckline of the hood to hold the two  fabrics in place using a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

7. *Lay your cardigan right side up and lay your hood right side down, centered, matching raw

edges of the hood to the neckline. Pin in place. Sew along the hood using a 3/8  inch seam allowance.

8. Serge or zig-zag stitch seam allowance to reduce bulk. Trim threads. 

Press seam to the inside and down. 

9. Hem sides and bottom of cardigan as PATTERN instructions say.
