Elven sok of Kerst sok - Haakles - Haken - Nederlands

Child poncho

This poncho is made of 2 rectangles.

My rectangles are 27.5 cm by 52 cm or 11 inches by 20.5 inches.

That is for about 3-4 years old

I used a 6mm hook.

For this size I used main color 1 ½ skeins of yarn. 1 skein is 100 gram and length of 241 m.

And 1 skein of 2^nd color.

With the remaining yarn I made a baret.

Start with a chain of 36.

For this cross stitch you need an even number of chains.

The first and last stitch I did a normal dc.

Make a dc in 3^rd from hook. DC to the end.

You have now 34 dc.

Row 2:

Chain 2 – counts as first dc.

Skip 1 stitch – dc in 3^rd stitch – dc in the stitch you skipped.

Last stitch 1 dc                 

Row 3 – 35

Repeat row 2

Row 36

1 dc in every stitch.

Make another rectangle.

When you finished both, put them together.

Do a google search to put them together.

First time can be difficult, but you get the hang of it J

Make sure when you attach the parts, the lines with the dc are both on the side where you connect it to the other part :D

I will try to make a short movie how to attach, but I have to make 2 rectangles again than :D

For the neck I used the 2^nd color.

Attach the yarn and chain 3. First dc

Dc all around evenly.

2^nd row

Chain 3, next stitch is a front post dc, next a dc -  fpdc –dc till the end.

Row 3 -7

Repeat row 2.

For the bottom I made shells of 5dc in 1 stitch

Weave in all ends and your poncho is ready.

Its easy to make it smaller or bigger.

For a 3-4 month old I  made 2 rectangles of 11.5 cm  by 23 cm.

I started with hook 6 mm and chained 18.

That left me with 16 dc.

I made a total of 16 rows -  first and last dc and the rest the cross stitch.

You can use any stitch you want, as long as the measurements are correct.

For the baret I used a pattern I cant find anymore L

Just spend ½ hour looking for it.

Same yarn, same hook

But its pretty easy.

Begin with a magic circle and make 8 hdc in it. With the main color
