A finished item using my 2025 12 Icons festive box!
The lovely Julie Lees from Julie Lees taught me to crochet this year and I’ve been hooked (pun unintended I promise)
Using the batt box, I spun up 12 mini batts and one 100g batt to make this poncho and I absolutely love how it turned out. Originally I intended to do a corner to corner square, leaving a gap in the middle but then felt unsure about that process so did 2 triangles and then crocheted them together.
This is my second poncho made with my hand spun festive boxes. And they get a lot of use when the cold nights come in.
Each colour way was based on an artist that has inspired me - from Grace Jones to Bisa Butler…
There are still some festive boxes available for this year, the theme is Love songs, so think warm cozy tones… and a few extra gifts along the way
