Collar

41 stitches in front and back. Ribbing is suggested. Number of rows is entirely up you. Depends on how high you want the collar. Stand up or fold over.

Attach sleeves with center mark to shoulder seam.
Sew from hem to under arm and down sleeve to cuff.
Hide all yarn ends for neat finish.

PONCHO

1. Very thick yarn. Key plate 3
2. 100 needles. EON – Do not rib. Do not decrease for under arm.
3. Knit until desired length. Bind off. Do not remove stitches from long weight. Turn knitting around so you are now working on what was bottom. Put these stitches back on needles. Knit 2 rows.
4. Decrease each side every 3rd or 4th row depending on the yarn you are using. Decreasing stitches too close to each other will cause the yarn, and your knitting to fold under and buckle.
5. When you have 3 center stitches left. Bind off.
6. Remove from weight and attach a fringe. Make exactly same for front and back.
7. Sleeves are made from from same pattern as for sweater light knitting worsted yarn.
8. Sew poncho shoulders together leaving an opening for neck. Then attach sleeves. And sew side seams.
