Martha Stewart 'Coming Home' Poncho
Lion Brand® Homespun®
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. 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.

| A great poncho that gets many complements when I wear it. The only problem is that the neckline turned out to be way too wide, so it hangs off one shoulder.
