Button It Up Poncho or Shawl

It's been a productive rainy day here I was able to get some patterns written up and posted today.  This one is for a very versatile shawl/poncho pattern

It is worked in two sections which can be worn as a shawl or bulky scarf/cowl.  Buttons are added along one side that are used to button the two sides together and make it a poncho!!  Or to button one of the shawl sides to itself in different ways. 

This is buttoning one side to itself...

This is as a shawl with the buttons going down the arm areas

This is with a V opening in the front and back

This one is worn with one arm out.  Very neat way to wear a poncho.  That's where the buttons come in handy.  You can make the neck opening larger or smaller as desired.  

This is as a bulky scarf

or as a shawl...

The pattern is worked in strips that are joined to each other on the go.  

This shows how they are buttoned to each other.  

This is a flat version showing it buttoned together.  Could be a blanket, too!!!  So you can see this pattern can be used in many many ways!!  It's yours to make your own and enjoy.
