GAUGES: Where 2 are given, one is intended for standard & Passap machines using #1 yarn. The other is for mid-gauge & bulky machines and utilizes #4 yarn. Where possible, many gauges have been given rather than just 2.
PONCHO SAFETY: I have included sizes in some of these patterns that would fit babies and very small children. Kids look cute in them and fitting is easy but please be cautious. It’s a bad idea for small children to play unsupervised in such garments or for babies to sleep in them. Twisting or snagging of the loose body of the garment might accidentally occur with the child’s head still trapped in the neckline and strangulation would be possible. Wouldn’t we feel horrible if anything like that every happened? Let’s be safe.
