Girl child had a lot of compliments on her blue poncho I finished back in April and a friend asked if I could make her one for her neice. So I did but I don't like to do the same thing twice.
This time I took this pattern called Cables and Lace Afghan Square #7 and the leaf vines from Cables and Leafs pattern here.
I cast on 112 stitches with worsted yarn and US 7 4.5mm circular needles placing stitch markers between the Cables and Lace Afghan pattern and the leaf vines from Cable and Leafs. The leaf vine is the middle section.
This time I did not do two pieces and then sew them together later since I wanted it to be asymmetrical like I did my blue one- for memory here is the blue Leaf poncho I finished in April
I knitted the piece flat until it was 60 inches long, folded it in half and left 12 inches again for the neck.
For the ruffles I did the same as the blue poncho - along bottom of poncho with crochet hook I did (2dc, chain 1, 2dc, chain 1, sc in second stitch, chain 1) repeat all the way around.
For the Collar
Round 1- single crocheted around the opening of the neck
Round 2- single crochet through back loop
Then go to ridge created from sc in back loop and (2dc, chain 1, 2dc, chain 1, sc in second stitch, chain one) repeat. This creates a ruffled collar but won't touch the neck and lays nice and flat.
I think I am addicted to ponchos. Now I am making myself one - A pattern called Madison by Martin Storey. Stay tune for updates!
