Materials: ww yarn, a little over 16 oz

Size: I'm guessing this will fit a child aged 10 to 12.
Amount of yarn is approximate. I weighed the poncho after completion and it was a titch over 16 oz. I recycled a WIP and didn't have any labels to refer to.
Poncho is done in 2 panels that are each 16 ½ inches x 27 inches.

Specialty stitch
Berry Stitch…Insert hook in st, pull up a loop, (yo, draw thru 1 loop on hook) 3 times, yo, draw thru last 2 loops on hook to complete.

Note 1: turning chains do not count as a stitch.
Note 2: numbers in ( ) at end of row depicts number of stitches for the row.

Make 2 panels

	Dot December 23, 2005 09:17 PM PST Thank you, Tina, glad to hear the hat is working for you. Happy holidays.


	tina 12,23,05 December 23, 2005 08:42 PM PST love your patterns, started one rasta hat, moving smoothly! thank you very much for sharing.


	Dot June 25, 2005 06:00 PM PDT Hi Barb, you're welcome. I hope you enjoy my patterns. I can't wait to hear which one you decided to do. Way to go on you crochet for charity. It's a wonderful thing to do.


	Barb Brehmer June 25, 2005 05:52 PM PDT Thanks for sharing your patterns. I have always liked ponchos and shawls and my interest got renewed when I saw Martha S, step on to the plane with that poncho. I do crocheting and knitting for two organizations - baby blankets mostly and also burial blankets. I can hardly wait to start a poncho or two for me. I will be in touch again and let you know which one I do.


	Dot June 1, 2005 09:34 PM PDT Thank you, Bev. I'm glad you like my patterns. If there's something I can help you with on the pattern, let me know.


	BevDavis June 1, 2005 07:02 PM PDT Hi Dot, I just love your patterns. I've started the Gentle Ripples poncho for myself. For some reason I keep messing up & having to frog. I do think it will be lovely when it's finished & it'll be easier to make more when I'm more familiar with the stitch patterns. I just adore the pattern, Bev


	Dot May 24, 2005 09:30 AM PDT Hi Susan, this is Dot. I get called Pat alot by mistake. It's OK, I think I know who you're talking to. lol I don't have any new hats but I've posted 3 poncho patterns recently. Did you see them? I'm so sorry about your grandson. Your contributions to the hospital is such a wonderful thing to do and I'm honored that you are choosing to use my patterns for such a good cause. How lovely to be thought of as one of God's Angels. Thank you.


	Susan May 24, 2005 03:02 AM PDT Hi Pat, It's Sue up here B.C. Canada. I was just checking to see if there was anything new, I don't see anything so I shall make one of your hats.My grandson had cancer 2 years ago(he was 10) so I like making up some for the hospital. I Want to thank you once again for sharing your patterns.You must be one of God's angels here on earth Thanks again Susan


	Dot February 3, 2005 04:00 PM PST Hi April, me too! lol I don't have a pattern but someone posted a formula for figuring out the size the panels should be. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounded reasonable to me. Here it is: 1/2 your head size plus the length from your wrist to your neck = length of panel wrist to neck = width You could use my pattern as a guide and make 2 panels to your own measurements and it should fit. Let me know how it goes. My short round poncho will fit up to a 2 or 3 x I believe. I'm a 2x and it fits me with room to spare. You could make it longer so it fits your needs.


	April February 3, 2005 03:40 PM PST do you have a pattern for this in adult size, I am a larger person and am having trouble finding poncho's to fit me.


	Dot October 5, 2004 06:35 PM PDT Thank you, Teri. It's good to know I'm not the only one to recycle.


	Teri October 5, 2004 01:16 PM PDT How cute this is! And how imaginative you are to recycle! I have so much yarn where I would start something and hate the pattern, so I finally started using some of it up instead of buying more!
