Notes
- The sizing guide follows size XS&S(M&L, XL&2XL, 3XL&4XL). Where “Chain 70,74,78,82) means Ch 70 for XS&S, Ch 74 for M&L, Ch 78 for XL&2XL, Ch 82 for 3XL&4XL.” If there is only one number, it applies to all sizes.
- Repeat instructions between asterisk (**) as stated in the following statement.
- This poncho is worked in the round and in one piece, starting with the neck ribbing, then the granny stitches.
- The granny stitch used is 2dc in each space. Not 3dc.
- Ch2 at the start of a new row doesn’t count as a stitch.
- In the pattern, I used 5 colors, but you can use any number of colors depending on your preferences.
- From Round 2 of main body, the 2dc stitches are worked in between previous 2dc clusters.
