Materials

For this project I used:

• A – Dark Chocolate (2 x 50g)
• B – Mandarin (2 x 50g)
• C – Dunes (2 x 50g)
• D – Sky (2 x 50g)

Yarn Substitute

Using the same type of yarn throughout the project is recommended. The pattern suggests DK yarn, but you are not limited to this type of yarn. Any yarn can be used if you take into consideration your sizing for the project will differ.

Tension | Gauge

Gauge is NOT necessary for this project to be perfect.

Size

Fits – teen/adult small.

Size can be easily adjusted by lengthening the starting chain or using a larger hook than recommended.

• Adult Small – Rectangles 72 cm x 30 cm (28 inches x 12 inches)
• Adult Medium – Rectangles 80 cm x 45 cm (31 inches x 18 inches)

Remember – if you use/choose a different yarn weight/hook size your poncho will be a different size!
