CONSTRUCT THE PONCHO:
1. Sew, graft or crochet the centre back seam.

NECK BAND:
1. Using size 2.5 needles knit a border 1,0 cms deep (approx. 3 rows) around the neckline of the poncho. This is
best knitted by picking up stitches around the neck and knitting a few rows. Ribbing will help pull in the neckline a bit.
If the neckline is very loose, consider knitting a folded band and inserting a draw string.

BORDER:
1. knit a border 1,0 cms deep around the bottom of the poncho. This should be crocheted or in a non-curling knit
stitch to provide stability to the bottom edge of the poncho.

FRINGE:
1. knit a 4,0 cms fringe around the bottom edge of the poncho. Various methods are given in the Help File / User Manual.

FINISHING:
1. Darn/weave/sew in all loose ends.
2. BLOCK. Really, it makes all the difference.

AMOUNT OF YARN REQUIRED TO MAKE GARMENT:
--- WARNING. THIS IS A ROUGH ESTIMATE ONLY. Measure a sample piece for a more accurate calculation.
Amount needed:
45,6 for poncho panels
1,5 for neckband
4,4 for border (plus 7,5 to 15,0 for fringe)
51,5 Grams TOTAL (excluding fringe)
