extra information
CIRCLE PONCHOS:
- Circle ponchos are knit sideways in one continuous piece. The start/end edges can be either sewn together at center
back (Closed Circle) or left open at center front (Open Circle).
- BOTTOM in the instructions below refers to the bottom of the poncho, which will at the left-hand end of your knit
when the right side is facing you. TOTAL ROWS refer to the number of rows at the poncho bottom edge.
1. Circle ponchos are knitted using SHORT ROW SHAPING. You may find using a marker helpful to reduce the
amount of counting. The instructions below are fairly brief and are of the form: [short row n1 stitches every other row
x1 times]. This means:
1A. Wrong side facing. knit the given number (n1) of stitches less one. Yarn at back. Slip the next st and wrap the yarn
around the st to the front. Return the slipped st to the LH needle without knitting it.
1B. Turn the piece and knit to the end of the row.
1C. Repeat steps 1A and 1B as required (x1 times), knitting n1 more stitches each time.
