The last pattern in this kids section is the cutest one as well, the car seat poncho! It’s round in shape and has a nice little hood. The main body is different in color compared to the bottom hem and the hood, giving the poncho a fun character. The bottom hem has fringes all around, adding to the cuteness of the whole thing. Your kid can wear it normally, and when it’s time for them to get into the car seat, just lift the poncho to cover the seat and make a tiny adorable warm tent for them.

It’s absolutely adorable, with the main body in one color, and the cuffs, hood, as well as lining in a different, contrasting color. The poncho is open, but it has a button and a loop that can keep it closed when the rain gets serious. You can even sew an optional addition that allows the poncho to transform into a bag!

During World War II, the German Army ( Wehrmacht) issued the Zeltbahn (see Shelter half), a poncho that could be combined to form tents. A typical four-man tent used four Zeltbahnen.

The poncho was first used on a regular basis in the 1850s for irregular U.S. military forces operating on the U.S. Western Plains. [6] These early military ponchos were made of gutta percha muslin, a latex-coated, waterproof cloth. [7] Ponchos made of gutta-percha or India rubber coated cloth were officially adopted during the American Civil War, both as rain clothing and as a ground sheet for sleeping. While originally intended for cavalry forces, they were widely used by infantry as well; Major General Sherman's Union troops, lightly equipped and living off procurement demand from the local populace, wore ponchos during wet weather encountered during the march through Confederate Georgia to the sea. [7] Boots and shoes cannot be created, but the stats can be transferred from one pair to another. To custom-tailor boots or shoes, place the item with the desired stats on the spool at the upper right and the item to be tailored in the feed at the lower left. The item on the spool will be consumed in the process. The resulting item in the feed will be called "Custom-tailored [name of shoe/boot]". The second poncho we have prepared for the big boys is this upcycling poncho. All you need is a wool blanket and some ten minutes or so. This poncho is also rectangular, but unlike the previous one, it covers your entire arms and doesn’t have a frayed bottom edge.

Araucanos and Huasos in Chile, 19th century A market scene Ruana in Bogotá, circa 1860 A Peruvian chalán dancing marinera on a Peruvian Paso horse There’s nothing better for keeping you dry in the rain than a poncho raincoat! No wonder why marines all have them just in case. This one is shorter than those military ones, reaching just below your waistline, but it does the job perfectly. It’s a rectangular wrap-style poncho with curved edges and a hood. It also has two buttons and two elastic loops that keep it nice and closed so that you won’t get wet. Here’s a poncho for the tiny ones up to eight years old, the riding hood poncho. This pattern is similar to the previous one, with a few notable differences. The first is that it has a lining, so it’s adequate for snowy days as well. The second is that it has a vertical row of snap fasteners or a regular old zipper in the middle so it can be worn closed or open.

The poncho was one of the typical clothes of many South American and Mexican cultures. Although investigations have concluded that its origins could be Mexico, Ecuador or Peru, it is not known where the first ponchos [5] were made. The poncho is now commonly associated with the Americas. As traditional clothing, the local names and variants are: Alcamán, Eugenio (1997). "Los mapuche-huilliche del Futahuillimapu septentrional: Expansión colonial, guerras internas y alianzas políticas (1750-1792)" (PDF). Revista de Historia Indígena (in Spanish) (2): 29–76. The next pattern is the asymmetric poncho! This one is a bit more complex because it has a lining, but it’s still easy to make. The different colors of the lining and the face give it a cheery and stylish look, while the asymmetric shape pronounces its uniqueness. One side, or sleeve if we can call it that, is longer than the other, hence the asymmetric shape. The shorter side has a row of vertical buttons as a nice decorative touch.Strategies, PJ in Prepping; Skills (2012-12-10). "Survival with the versatile military poncho".

In the late 18th century, Basque navigator José de Moraleda wrote that the ponchos of the Huilliche of Osorno were less colorful than those of Chiloé Archipelago. [13] The Huilliche are the principal indigenous population of Chile from Toltén River to Chiloé Archipelago. [14] Mapuche ponchos were once highly valued, in the 19th century a poncho could be traded for several horses or up to seventy kilos of yerba mate. [15] 19th-century Mapuche ponchos were clearly superior to non-indigenous Chilean textiles and of good quality when compared to contemporary European wool textiles. [15] Film [ edit ] A poncho ( Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpontʃo]; Quechua: punchu; Mapudungun: pontro; "blanket", "woolen fabric") [1] [2] [3] is a kind of plainly formed, loose outer garment originating in the Americas, traditionally and still usually made of fabric, and designed to keep the body warm. Ponchos have been used by the Native American peoples of the Andes, Patagonia, and the Valley of Mexico since pre-Hispanic times, in places now under the territory of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela, and have also become familiar in parts of the U.S. also. A rain poncho is made from a watertight material designed to keep the body dry from the rain.
