Little Miss Sunshine is inspired by the long summer days of childhood – where everything is about play, curiosity and small adventures. The colourful stripes echo flower meadows, ice cream, sunshine and the carefree feeling of being outside from morning to night.

Adventure of a Lifetime is CosyMonday's collection for children – inspired by play, freedom, nature and small voyages of discovery. The designs are made for active children who need soft garments with room to move and plenty of personality.

Little Miss Sunshine – The Poncho is knitted in the round before the hood is picked up and knitted on. The poncho is finished with decorative tassels and a button closure that make the garment both practical and playful. The roomy fit gives plenty of freedom to move and makes the poncho easy to put on and take off.

The pattern is written with plain explanations and a workflow that is easy to keep track of. It suits you if you want to explore several techniques while making a colourful garment your child can wear through most of the year.

• Flexible cast on
• Picking up stitches
• Knitting a hood
• Using stitch markers
• Neat finishing

The mohair makes the poncho as light as a cloud while still giving a pleasant warmth. The result is a garment your child can easily wear over a sweater, a dress or a T-shirt without it feeling heavy.

This is a perfect project for leftover yarn. By changing the order of the stripes or using your child's favourite colours you get a completely personal poncho without changing the construction.
