"ANGEL"
Poncho

Sport
Weight Yarn -- J hook
Worsted
Weight Yarn - K hook -- despite what manufacturers would have us
believe, all worsted weight yarn is not the same weight -- use a
lighter weight one or use a bigger hook -- you want this to be loose
enough for draping and folding around the infant
The
poncho is open all the way down the back
V =
DC, Ch 1, DC in same stitch
Chain
24
Row
1: DC in 3rd chain from hook; DC in next three chains; work (DC,
Ch 1,
DC) [V] in next chain; DC in next five chains) THREE times; Ch 3 and
turn. For first row, you should have:
x x x
x x V x x x x x V x x x x x V x x x x x
Row
2: DC in each DC across to Ch 1 space; (V in Ch 1 space; DC in
each DC across)THREE times to end; Ch 3 and turn
Row 3
- 12: Continue to work in pattern of DC's with V in each Ch 1
space - - Do NOT fasten off after Row 12
Turning
your work, create a trim of your choice along end, neckline, end and
bottom of Poncho. In the picture, the Poncho is trimmed on sides
and
bottom with a Ch 3, 3 DC in same stitch, SK 2, SC. On the
neckline, I
usually do a *Ch 2, SC* (repeat * - *) across. This can be used
around
the entire piece for a simple finish. Any border you use for a
simple
afghan can be used.
