Welcome to my first poncho! I’m so excited to be creating more wearables with the Overlay Mosaic Crochet technique.
 
IN ENGLISH ONLY 
 
You get a pictorial description with this pattern.
 
There’s 5 parts to this project, the main panel [not symmetrical], joining the poncho, the border around the bottom, the border around the neck and the collar.
 
I used DK yarn with a 3.5mm hook throughout, except for the slip stitches [4.5] and collar, please see those parts for information. It’s not recommended to use a thinner yarn as the poncho will be too small but suitable for a child. If you used thicker yarn the poncho will be bigger so use a smaller hook than the yarn specifies.
 
There is an extra pattern of the extended border, you can create this if you don’t feel that the poncho is big enough, its an extra download in your library.
 
I used Yarnsmiths Merino DK in Brown Bear [shade 3070] for my background colour, the detailed in Oatmeal [shade 3064]. The main pattern I used 1,338m, 608g, 13 skeins of Brown Bear [background], and Oatmeal 900m, 450g, 9 skeins [detailed]. The border around the bottom of the poncho, in Brown Bear I used 136m, 62g. The neck border, Brown Bear, 39m, 14g. The Collar in Brown Bear, 226m, 98g, 2 skeins.
 
Total of background colour, 1,739m [782g]. Total of detailed colour 900m [450g]. Total amount of yarn 1,232g, 2,639m.
 
Main panel before the border measures 52”/132cm long, with border 54”/137cm long. Main panel width, 26”/66cm. Main panel folded, 26”/136cm square, with border folded 27”/68.5cm square. Neck width folded, 8”/20.5cm.
