IMG_0460
Hi everyone, here i come with a new project today that is a poncho pattern for all ages. This pattern is very simple and easy to make, even beginners can make. One of my viewer had Requested me to make a poncho pattern so here it is.
As i mentioned earlier this pattern is for all ages. Here i am not going to teach you by number counts but by measurements. Hope you will enjoy this pattern.
Take a tee- shirt for neck measurement

This pattern is multiples of 3 stitches so when you are making a base ch you need to make multiples of 3 and should divide by 4 
for example in the demo piece i have done 60 ch it is a multiple of 3 and if we divide by 4 we get 15 equal stitches. As our pattern has 4 corners. make a slip stitch into the 1st ch and form a ring.

Row 1 : ch3 and 2 dc into the same st, ch 1 skip 2 ch and 3dc into the next st. (in the demo pattern i will consider the 15th st as 1st corner st) . work pattern till 15 th ch. into the 15th ch 3dc ch2 3dc. skip 2 ch  and 3dc into the next ch. leaving the 1st 3dc count the 3dc set or shell till the first corner. every side we should make the same no. of shells.and into the 1st st of the row work 3dc, ch2 and join with a slip st into the 3rd ch of the beginning st.

If you want you can fasten off and stop at this point or else you can even add collar to it .
I have added collar to the demo piece.
join the yarn and ch3 work 1 dc into every st till the end and turn the work.
work 1 or more rows of dc
