Poncho Wrap
Lion Brand® Martha Stewart CraftsTM/MC Alpaca Blend
GAUGE: 15 sts + 21 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). 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: 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.
kfb (knit into front and then back)
An increase worked as follows:
1. Knit the next st through the front loop, but do not remove the st from your left hand needle.
2. Knit the same st once more, this time inserting your needle through the back loop of the st. You will have created 2 loops (sts) on your right hand needle.
3. Drop the st from your left hand needle - you have increased 1 st.
PATTERN STITCH
K2, p2 Rib (multiple of 4 sts + 2)
Row 1: K2, *p2, k2; rep from * to end of row.
Row 2: K the knit sts and p the purl sts.
Rep Row 2 for K2, p2 Rib.
|
NOTES: 1. Poncho is worked in one piece from left front edge across to right front edge.
2. Collar is worked by picking up sts along top edge after Poncho has been completed.

| Poncho Wrap Reviewed by Connie Bell on 2012-04-12 |

I tried this pattern, I got to the last row of the body and could not go any further, it is indeed a very odd pattern, not wide enough also to be of any use. Ripped it all out, it is sick and wrong! Don't do it!!!!
I gave it one star because it won't accept it without a rating, otherwise 0!!!!
