This lacy, feminine poncho is ideal for warmer weather. Directions are given for three different sizes from kindergarten-aged child through adult, and variations are given at the end of the instructions for creating a cowl or rectangular wrap.

YARN
250-550 yards of light fingering weight yarn. Of course other weights can be used—have fun!

GAUGE and SIZE
16 stitches and 24 rows= 4” in blocked daisy stitch on US #8 needles. This may vary depending on yarn. For a more lacy look, choose a larger needle. Work and wet block a swatch to determine best needle for your yarn.
Dimensions after blocking: Small 11.5”x 31.5”, Medium 14.75”x 40”, Large 20.5”x 54”

NOTES
This lacy, open poncho is worked as a rectangle with a narrow garter stitch border and then blocked aggressively and seamed together at completion. It is worked in a series of four modules: eyelets, bobbles, bows, and fields of daisies. Modules can be interchanged as desired-simply be sure to create the required length. Don’t like bobbles? Then just work bows or only eyelets.
