    why not ask him what colours he'd prefer? let him pick them out at the yarn store.

    I agree that he should probably choose but to be honest when i read this two colours jumped into my mind.


    these shades of GREEN and BLUE.

    I got a white, pure wool poncho in a thrift store for $3 :D and i love it.

    All of your color combos sound wonderful. My son wouldn't decide on colors (he's only 5 years old). He wants them all!

    iscreamchocolate, if you really want a poncho i'll make you one if you send me the yarn and $20.
