Childs Raspberry Poncho
Ponchos are like sweaters without arms. They cover the whole
top of your body and the bottom is open so you
can slip it on and off easily. Some patterns require no shaping at all as
they are knitted in two pieces (although this pattern is four pieces), that are
then stitched together, leaving a hole for the head. Ponchos are great spring
and autumn accessories because they keep you warm but allow some air
circulation through the bottom of the poncho. They're very stylish too! so why
not whip this one up for a child. I’ve just finished this for my neice’s
daughter. I chose a raspberry coloured eyelash type yarn which is lovely and
warm without being heavy.
GAUGE: 11 sts + 18
rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in Stockinette st (k on RS, p on WS).
12 sts + 16 rows = 4
inches [10 cm] in Mock Granny st. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
Size 8mm Needles
Abbreviations used in this pattern
p = purl
p2tog = purl 2 together
RS = right side WS = wrong side
st(s) = stitch(es) tog
= together yo = yarn over
I used 3 x 100grms eyelash type yarn
PONCHO SECTION – Make 4 Size age 7-8yrs
Cast on 72 sts. Work
4 rows of Scalloped Edge Pattern (multiple of 18 sts)
Row 1 (WS) Knit.
Row 2 Knit.
Row 3 Purl.
Row 4 *[K2tog] 3 times, [yo, k 1] 6 times, [k2tog] 3 times;
repeat from *.
Note There are 6 increases and 6 decreases per repeat; you
will have the same number of sts at the end of this row that you did when you
began.
Repeat this pattern 4 times.
Carry on in Mock Granny
Stitch Pattern, (multiple of 4 sts + 2) as follows:
Row 1 (WS) K2tog, k to last 2 sts, k2tog – 2 sts decreased.
Note: For The first time Row 1 is worked, two extra
decreases are needed to accommodate pattern. Work Row 1 first
time only as follows: K2tog, k2tog, k to last 4 sts, k2tog, k2tog.
Row 2 Repeat Row 1 – 2 sts decreased.
Row 3 P 1, *p2tog, yo, p2tog; repeat from * to last st, p 1
– 1 st decreased for each repeat.
Row 4 K 1, *k 1, (k 1, p 1) in yo, k 1; repeat from * to
last st, k 1 – 1 st increased for each repeat.
Note It is important to keep track of your increases and decreases,
which vary from row to row:
Repeat rows 1-4 untill 14 st remain (omitting k2tog begining and end of row 1 after the first time worked)
Knit 1 row.
Place remaining 14 sts on a st holder to work later for
neck.
Work 4 sections the same
FINISHING: Sew sections together from bottom of Scalloped Edge to
neck, leaving 1 of the 4 seams open. Slip all neck sts onto needle. (56 sts)
Knit every row until neck edging measures 2 inches [5 cm], ending with a WS row. Bind off all sts loosely. Sew last seam.

This pattern is also available in chid sizes age3yrs and 5-6yrs and also adult medium.
Ponchos have been one of the coolest knitted and crocheted
accessories for a couple of years now, and it doesn't seem like they are going
away any time soon,they are the biggest trend for this autumn and were featured
heavily in the New York Fashion week and are included in atumn and winter collections in most high street store's
Happy Knitting!

How do you a block a butterfly knitted stitch Afghan. Can this be done.
Sorry to ask but fairly new to knitting, doing the back and it says to decrease until 24 stitches remain. As I started with an uneven number and the decrease is in even numbers I don’t see how I can achieve 5his? Is it a typo perhaps?
New born baby cardigan, is this right to decrease one at each end of every knit row to make the raglan sleeve Shape? The back piece is longer than the rest of the cardigan!
What I mean is when it says shape the arms for the back piece after you decrease four each side,
You decrease one then it says Continue in this way... do you mean carry on decreasing one all along to the last three stitches? I thought you meant carry on with a knit row to the last three stitches.. now I am stuck it looks far too long.
