A baby poncho set is perfect for cooler days.

There are so many reasons why I love poncho sets. One, they are perfect for those days when you aren't sure what the whether will be like. Layer on a poncho and you are all set. Two, they can go well with pants, dresses or skirts. Three, they make for wonderful homemade gifts for girls. And four, they are just way cool (maybe I am dating myself with that last comment).

A great lesson to be learned from this poncho set (and precious model) is the importance of choosing color wisely. These gorgeous blue eyes are dramatically intensified by the purple color of the soft acrylic yarn. For further effect, the crochet shell edging of the cap also draws attention to her beautiful eyes.
