Crocheting a ponchito = a cross between a poncho and a bolero? (not an ad)

Dear users, dear authors,
I saw a pattern for a crocheted ponchito in the shop.
To me, it looks like a normal poncho cut in half that, instead of reaching down to the waist or hips, is only the length of a little bolero jacket.
What do you think? Would a ponchito be a good alternative to a poncho or a little bolero jacket for you?

I’m curious to hear your opinions.

You can find lots of patterns for ponchos here.

Dear Josef,
That’s my thinking behind a ponchito... For me personally, it’s important, first of all, that it doesn’t get in the way—for example, when shopping—and second, in its short form, it accentuates the figure rather than hiding it. And with this short style, you can still throw a warm jacket over it in winter without anything peeking out from the bottom.

Best regards
Alina

I think that’s great. :-)

Hi everyone,
I think this ponchito is really cute and would definitely make a great shoulder warmer.

I like this one, too. Lately, I’ve been seeing these and similar styles more and more often in “real life”—maybe it’ll be the next big thing after the poncho trend.

I also think Alina’s ponchito is great, but I know from bitter experience (I tried it myself ;-) ) that the length is anything but flattering on me because it ends right at bust level. So for me, a longer or shorter version would be better—I’m, hmm, well, let’s just say (beating around the bush) not as slim as Alina ;-) And it looks fantastic on her!

Dear Roticanai,

you’re so sweet

Dear Roticanai,

That’s weird… The text didn’t display completely just now.
