  Looks great!

  I just cut a hole in a blanket. It lacks a hood, but it works.

  There are directions here. The blanket I have is pretty small and thin, so I might make a souped up version later.

  I based my poncho off of the one on that website, but I did a few extra steps. I sewed an extra time around the face of the hood to make it lay flatter. And I sewed around the entire poncho then turned it right-side out to make the edges look more finished (then whip stitched the opening where I turned it out).

  
  Mmmm...cake!

  I was going to attempt one of these but decided I just don't have time, plus minimal sewing skills, so I bought one off Amazon.  https://www.amazon.com/Wrapeaze-Fleece-Hooded-Months-Alternative/dp/B0060YF85M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323095336&sr=8-1

  OP, yours looks great though!  Maybe I'll attempt another one after the holidays.

  I don't know what your sewing skills are like, but I promise that this was super easy to make. It took me ~1.5 hrs start to finish. And the fleece was on sale at Jo Ann's, so I got all of the supplies (2x1 yd fleece + thread) for ~$10.

  
  Mmmm...cake!
