This fun poncho gives the look of a corner to corner design without having to work the garment corner to corner. I utilize the Cross Hatch stitch to provide great texture and visual appeal. Add different colors in sporadic rows, color blocked sections or work the entire poncho in one solid color, the possibilities are endless.

NOTES
• This poncho is made to be a small fitting poncho, I personally wanted a larger size for myself so I made the L/1x even though I can comfortably fit into a S/M. If you want your poncho to be more fitted (second sample coming soon in S/M) then choose based on the normal size you wear. If you want your poncho to be large and comfy, like the sample shown is on me, then go with one size larger. Either way the poncho will fit, it just will style differently. Most people will fit into the 2 center sizes.
• Ch 3 counts as first dc
• Ch 1 does NOT count as first sc
• This poncho is made in two separate panels that are then seamed together.
• Each panel is edged prior to seaming. You will edge one complete side at a time (you do not work around the entire piece to edge). We will add sc sts to the neck for final edging.
