Hooded Baby Poncho

Lion Brand® Terryspun

GAUGE:

2 sts = 1" in St 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.

NOTES:


3-needle bind off: Put half of sts on spare needle, place 2 needles holding sts together, right sides together (wrong side will face out). Knit together one st from each needle; *knit together one st from each needle, pass first st worked over second to bind off*; rep from * to * across to last st. Cut working yarn and pull through last st to secure.

PONCHO: Cast on 23 (25, 29) sts. K 4 rows for garter st (= 2 garter st ridges). Keep first 2 and last 2 sts in garter st and rem sts in St st; AT THE SAME TIME, beg with the 3rd row inc 1 st at each end of every other row 3 (4, 4) times as foll: (k 2, k into front and back of next st, k across to 3rd st from end, k into front and back of next st, k 2) -- 29 (33, 37) sts. Keeping first 2 and last 2 sts in each row in garter st and rem sts in St st, work until Poncho meas 10 (11, 13)" from beg, ending with a WS row.
Next row (RS): K 11 (12, 14) sts, attach new skein of yarn and bind off center 7 (9, 9) sts loosely, k rem sts -- 11 (12, 14) sts each side. Working both sides at the same time with separate skeins of yarn, work one row even.
Next row: Dec 1 st (k2tog) at each neck edge. Work 2 rows even.
Next row (WS): Work even.
Next row: K 10 (11, 13) sts, cast on 9 (11, 11) sts (backward loop cast on) across back neck, k 10 (11, 13) sts dropping 2nd skein of yarn -- 29 (33, 37) sts.
(Note: You will now be working in one piece with one skein of yarn.) Keeping first 2 and last 2 sts of each row in garter st and rem sts in St st, work until back of Poncho matches front to lower edge shaping. Dec 1 st (k2tog just inside 2 st garter st edge) every other row 3 (4, 4) times -- 23 (25, 29) sts. Work 2 garter st ridges. Bind off across last row.

Hood: With RS facing, pick up approx 20 (22, 22) sts around neck edge, starting at right side of center front bound-off sts, up right neck edge, across back, down left neck edge, ending at left side of center front bound-off sts.
Next row (WS): K first 2 sts, p to last 2 sts, k last 2 sts.
Next row: K, inc 6 (6, 8) sts evenly spaced across row -- 26 (28, 30) sts. Keeping first 2 and last 2 sts in garter st and rem sts in St st, work until hood meas 7½ (8, 8½)" from pick-up row. Put half of sts on spare needle and work 3-needle bind off.

POCKET: Cast on 6 (8, 8) sts. Work one garter st ridge. Inc 1 st every other row twice. Keeping first 2 and last 2 sts in garter st and rem sts in St st, work until piece meas 3 (4, 4)" from beg.

Hooded Baby Poncho Reviewed by tanya tran on 2008-04-14 *****
I knitted this pattern up in Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn and it turned out very cute. I liked the way it looked with the substituted yarn than the terispun one in the picture. Poncho is VERY cute on baby.
