Child`s V-st Poncho 

Design by Janelle Schlossman 2004

For a toddler!

   I designed this poncho  for a child size small 4/6 but it is

 like a size 2.

 I made the rectangles side to side instead of bottom to top.

It`s a simple V-st pattern and works up fast  :-)

   If anyone uses this pattern I would greatly appreciate

feedback as to the fit. I don`t have any little ones around

to model this on. I`ve received some feedback from a very

gracious young lady. She made this for her 4 year old and

it was too small and has given it to her little niece who is 2.

So this poncho fits a toddler and not a small child. I will have

to design a larger size soon :-)

Thanks so much Courtney!

Here are the measurements for this poncho:

12" from neck to point

18" at widest point

about 8 1/2" from neck on down the arm

I think the neck is approx. 15"

  the color is Aran

*crochet hook size L

Special stitches:

V-st:  dc-ch1-dc in same stitch or space

Ch 25.

1: Dc in 5th ch from hook. Ch 1, dc in same ch.

*skip 2 ch, V-st in next ch. Repeat from * 5 more

times. Skip 1 ch, dc in last ch.  Ch 3, turn.

2: (V-st in ch1 sp of next V-st) across. Dc in ch 3 of

Finishing:

    Rejoin yarn at top of 3rd row to the right of one of the

seams at the neck. Ch 1 (counts as the first sc); work

2 sc in end of each row around neck edge.

      When you get to the seams, sc the last st before the

seam and the first st after the seam together.

Join with a slip st to beginning ch 1.

   For the fringe around the bottom of the poncho, I cut 108

pieces of yarn about 7 1/2" long and attached them evenly

spaced around the whole bottom edge.
