Wee Hooded Poncho
Lion Brand® Homespun®
GAUGE: 10.25 sts + 10 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in Double Stitch Pattern with A. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| I LOVE using homespun to crochet items, especially baby things, it is so soft to put on baby and to work with. If you try to use it with a too small hook, it becomes too hard, or if you pull your stitches too tight. I LOVE this little poncho, I have made others, but this one by far is the cutest!
