Ah, knitting patterns of the 1970s:
I found this "two in one" pattern for his'n'hers ponchos and an attractive beret and scarf combo amongst my Mum's old possessions. I don't think Mum and Dad ever wore matching ponchos. At least, I really, really hope they didn't.
I wore a poncho for my ‘going-away’ outfit when I got married in 1982. My mother had knitted it for me in a lovely lime green colour. I can’t believe I let her. It’s one of the wedding pictures I keep at the bottom of the box.
