Hooded Baby Poncho Reviewed by Donna S dean on 2008-10-15 ****
THIS WAS FUN TO MAKE. I MADE IT A LIITLE MORE GIRLY BY SC IN EACH SC TWICE FOR THE LAST TWO ROWS AROUND. IT MADE A REALLY CUTE RUFFLE AROUND THE EDGE. THE HOOD HOWEVER NEEDS TO BE LARGER FOR THE 18 MONTH SIZE. I ADDED MORE ROWS AROUND THE OUTSIDE TO MAKE IT LONGER.
