PONCHO
CO 33 (43) sts. Purl 1 row.
Pattern:
R1: K1, *K1-YO-K3-Sl 1-K2tog-PSSO-K3-YO* end K2.
Rows 2-4-6: Purl.
R3: K1* K2-YO-K2-Sl 1-K2tog-PSSO-K2-YO-K1* end K3 instead of K1.
R5: K1-K2tog* YO-K1-YO-K1-Sl1-K2tog-PSSO-K1-YO-K1-YO-Sl 1-
K2tog-PSSO* end YO-K1-YO- K2tog-K1
Added clarification for Row 5: rep from *, ending last rep [k1, yo] twice, k2tog, k1.
The last time you repeat from the * instead of doing the sl 1, k2tog, psso after the [k1, yo] twice, you end with k2tog, k1. Therefore the last time through the repeat you only work 5 sts instead of 10 and then work the 5 ending stitches. This works out to 43 sts. For the last 10-st repeat of the pattern, there is no compensating increase (yo) after the double decrease
(sl 1, k2tog, PSSO), so instead of working 'sl 1, k2tog, psso' (a double
decrease, using 3 sts) you work 'k2tog' (a single decrease, using 2 sts),
then knit the last st (which is actually an edge st throughout the Stitch
pattern). This will keep the stitch count consistent on Row 5.
Repeat rows 1-6 for 30”. Bind off loosely.
Make 2 pieces.

Join and pin seams as shown.

NECKLINE

GAUGE:
23 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with 2 strands of yarn held together. 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 less 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.
