Special Stitches:

Back bar of the Chain = When looking at the right side of a chain, you see many “V’s” and the chain looks like a braid. Turn the chain over and you see a series of bumps – it is in these bumps that you will work across the chain to produce a cord with even edges along both sides

Notes:

This poncho is worked from the top down

A hook that is larger than usual is used so that the poncho has better drape

Top Edging:

Using yarn tail at end of Row 1 and yarn needle, join unworked 2 chs to 6th ch from very 1st sc of Row 1 (this completes the bottom edge of Row 1 so there is no break in the line of stitches and the following Round 1 can be easily worked)

Tie:

With 4mm hook ch until measures 40”

Working in back bar of the ch, sc in 2nd ch from hk and in each ch across. Fasten off.

Finishing/Assembly:

Weave in all ends

Wet block shawl and let dry overnight – I highly recommend doing this step for this project because it will make the stitches and spaces look their best

(To wet block: Wet poncho with cold water so soaked through

Roll up poncho in a clean towel and press out excess water

Lay out poncho on dry towel and flat surface pulling out spaces and stitches so lay flat and evenly;

Place corkboard/foam core board/cardboard under towel and pin poncho taut at edges and along sides

Let dry completely and remove from board)

Weave tie in an over-under pattern through last round of the top edging
