Over Easy Poncho
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®
GAUGE: 13 sts + 18 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with 2 strands of yarn held together. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| Easy enough for a beginner yet challenging enough so advanced and intermediate knitters won't become bored. Worked up fairly quickly. Can't wait to make another.
