Crochet Starburst Poncho

I've had this Caron Big Cakes Self Striping Yarn in my collection for a while now. I have been playing with the idea of using a shawl tutorial from the Fiber Spider to make a starburst poncho. I sat still long enough give it a go. 

I used foundation double crochet to start the poncho. Realized it wasn't right and ripped it back.

Started the foundation double crochet again, and realized there was a problem with the join for the beginning of the round. 

The third time I managed to get it right!

After that, I wasn't going to rip it back any more. I might try it differently if I do this again, but I think once the piece hangs it will even out along the neckline. 

The shawl has four points and the poncho will have four points. You could wear this with one point forward and back with one over each arm, or with two points in front and two in the back. I'll update as I go along so you can see how it works out. I think it's going to be great!

If you haven't watched the Fiber Spider's YouTube tutorials, I highly recommend them. Designs are clearly explained and worth your time if you're struggling with a design covered.
