Picot Hem Poncho
Lion Brand® Martha Stewart CraftsTM/MC Extra Soft Wool Blend
GAUGE: 19 sts + 27 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in the rnd (k every rnd). 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.
STITCH EXPLANATION: M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting horizontal thread lying between needles and placing it onto left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop - 1 st increased.
ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog - 1 st decreased. |
NOTES: 1. Poncho is worked in rnds, beg at neck.
2. Poncho has folded hems at Neckband and lower edge. Neckband is folded across a purl turning ridge, and lower edge is folded across a picot edge.
3. If desired, when sts are sufficiently increased, change to longer circular needles.
