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 2nd 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 3rd from hook. DC to the end.
You have
now 34 dc.
Row 2:
Chain 2 –
counts as first dc.
Skip 1
stitch – dc in 3rd 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 2nd color.
Attach the yarn and chain 3. First dc
Dc all around evenly.
2nd 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
Round 2: 2hdc in every stitch (16)
Round 3: 1 hdc, 2hdc in 1 , repeat till end (24)
Round 4: 1 hdc, 1 hdc, 2hdc in 1, repeat till end (32)
