The Origins of the Mamaponcho
Since my son’s birth I have always carried him in a sling. As the days got shorter and much
colder I found I had trouble finding a way to keep us both warm as I carried him and not end
up looking like a big ball of clothing!
So I developed, knitted and sewed the first Mamaponcho for my son and I.
Soon afterwards I bought a knitting machine and a better-quality sewing machine.
I began to produce the ponchos by hand for other mothers to also enjoy.
Today most of the Ponchos are produced by a knitting company in Germany.
Since I love the inspiring and meditative qualities of the monotonous work
with my knitting machine I still produce some ponchos by hand today
including some custom made to order.
