CH43 Valerie  A child's poncho
Design by Bev Galeskas
Valerie modeled the baby version of this design when she was 6 months old and, as you can see, she is still a great poncho model today at 10.
Made with or without a hood, both with a cozy shawl collar front, this poncho will be a stylish addition to any girl's wardrobe.
