Martha Stewart has just been released from prison and she’s making a bold fashion statement by bringing back the crocheted poncho. Apparently the poncho was made by inmates as a going away gift to Martha.

I don’t even want to guess what the inmates made that poncho out of.
guess she’s been out of circulation and didn’t know the poncho has been declared dead&over by the Manolo

Actually, ponchos are back “in”! I’d like the pattern!
That Poncho is Fabulous! I suspect that everyone will be hoping the pattern will be posted — I can’t wait to try and duplicate that!
I definitely want the pattern for that beautiful poncho. Please post it.
I saw Martha Stewart live speaking to her company about the poncho. I also saw the footage of her wearing the poncho boarding her jet. I am hoping the young lady that created the poncho gets royalties. It surely will be part of Martha’s come back. I like it alot and want to get my own.
It is gorgeous!
I want one just like it!
It looks like a basic granny square pattern with large shells along the edge.
probably similar to this pattern: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/chs-poncho.html
Please let me know if the beautiful poncho is on any website. I really would love to make it. It is incredible
I just love that Martha Stewart poncho. I want to learn how to crochet that exact same one.
Please tell me where I can find that pattern so I can wear that same poncho, okay? okay…
Lion Brand is working on a pattern for it. http://www.lionbrand.com
The pattern won’t help me because I can’t crochet and have no interest in learning – but I’d sure buy a poncho like that if I could find one. It’s so cute!
After receiving the largest number of requests ever for a pattern, Lion Brand is creating a free Homespun® pattern to match the poncho that Martha Stewart wore for her return home this week. It will be available on the site at http://www.lionbrand.com by middle of next week.
I LOVE THE PONCHO THAT MARTHA STEWART WAS WEARING AND WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE PATTERN.
Martha – you are looking great and you have really shown how to make lemonade from lemons – a wonderful example of how to bloom where you are planted. Love the poncho and would love to have the pattern to crochet – Inmate should get royalties. Love you, love you! Cindy Gardner in Ohio!
Lion Brand yarn is going to release a free version of the pattern for the poncho next week.
Please tell me the above comments are sarcastic. I *heart* Martha as much as anyone, but that poncho is f-ing hideous. It looks like she has garrisoned some nomadic tribe’s shelter and is using it as outerwear. I understand the sentimental value, but if this reignites the poncho craze with a dishwater-hued twist I will slit my wrists. Bury me in something flattering and tailored.
I’m right there with you Jenny
I’m hoping to teach crafts to youths and the elderly for therapy, so I’ve been excited about MS’s poncho pattern from minute one.
would like the pattern for the ponco made for Martha sewart
Lionbrand’s version now available at
http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/chs-scallopEdgePoncho.html
That poncho is beautiful and I hope that the lady that made it gets recognized for her hard work because it takes time and lots of work I should know I make ponchos myself. Im getting orders for a poncho like that. Thanks to you I got the pattern. Thank You very Very much. God Bless! Martha
Well, the knitted pattern for this poncho is already available on the Bernat website at http://www.bernat.com They have it in Crochet and Knit forms. Seems all the big yarn companies are running around trying to be the first to get the patterns out.
I think it would knit up nice in an alpaca or even a nice merino instead of the acrylic garbage Lion Brand sells.

The Poncho was beautiful and it so nice of Martha and her friend to share the pattern with us all. I am very anxious to get one started and would like to thank the lady that made it for sharing and trust she will get something in return for her sharing her pattern, which I am sure Martha Stuart being the great person that she is will make sure she is not forgotton. Thank you
Hi, I noticed all of the postings regarding the Martha Stewart Poncho. I just wanted everyone to know that I am making them and selling them. If anyone is interested please feel free to email me and I will send you pictures and price. I have been making crochet shawls and ponchos and selling them on ebay for the past year now. My ebay seller id is: catreenas_treasures I will have some posted on ebay very soon.
Tina
Thanks to all of you who made this free pattern available. I will get started tonight. I am extremely happy for Martha. I prayed for her thru her ordeal. She is a true strong person. Love to you.

I loved the poncho so much I started making them for sale!!! I just can’t keep up with the demand.

found the shawl pattern at
http://www.Lionbrandyarn.com and
http://www.bernat.com
it’s great
Thank you so much for the info on Martha’s Poncho.
I thought it was so cute, not suprised so many liked also, Joan
Lion Brand released their knit poncho pattern earlier than they previously thought they would.
Knit version is at http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/khs-scallopEdgePoncho.html and the
Crochet version is at http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/chs-scallopEdgePoncho.html .
The poncho pattern is nice, but I’m with the woman who said it was hideous texture & dishwater shade. That yarn makes any acrylic look like pure cashmere! Anyway, only Martha would get a going-away present from prison. Maybe she’ll have a feature on handcrafted inmate fashions when her friend is “sprung”. LOL
I’m currently making the poncho from the Lionbrand pattern though Lily Chin has one too in both knit and crochet. [A tip: knit will tend to stretch more than crochet since this hangs on the bias. Beware!] The other thing is though I thought I read the pattern correctly, I seem to have added some stitches by doubling the pattern. The result is a nice curly scalloped edge which, since I’m that far along, I’m going to keep and do it the right way on the next one!
It’s a very nice pattern to have on your lap during a movie. Ideal, in fact! Good luck, everyone. I’m in Toronto and I’m going to make them for sale as well.
Whats is wroug with everybody acting so weird over a weird PONCHO! In fact its one that was picked out from lionbrand something!something!
Men you would think that these people never seen a poncho before, my good ness…gee… youre worst then the popawapcee- you know those crazy ones running around like a chicken without a head just to get a picture and a lie… dont call me ill call you ok…hee hee hee
I would like to purchase a poncho like martha’s (in a diff color) is anyone selling them? Thx!
