So, I like Cotton
I finished yet another poncho in the Caron Cotton Cakes and I must say I like this yarn. I don’t want to become a fiber snob or anything but I like working with stuff that doesn’t feel too delicate.
I am using the skein and a half left overs to start another broomstitch lace thing, even if the stitch is so damn tedious!

Your poncho made using Caron Cotton Cakes, Rose Whisper, is beautiful. Do you sell the pattern or do you know where I could find it?
I bought a skein of this yarn today. When I looked it up online to see how it stripes, your poncho came up in the search.
Thank you for sharing your photos, opinions, experience & advice. I appreciate you.

Hello! Thank you! Love love loved the Caron Cotton cakes. The pattern is the general virus stitch which can be done as a blanket, poncho, or scarf/shawl. Some people are selling the pattern for some reason but you can find it on youtube like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKkuBIol_wo
or if you are good at counting, just figure out the initial chain (around the neck) based on the amount of corners if you are familiar with the virus stitch already. I chain 104 to give you an idea and do mine as a 2 corner poncho.
You’re welcome! I try to use this blog for more details about yarn and patterns, since I find myself troubleshooting both quite a bit 😀
