Kiddos poncho

This was super easy! To start out, measure from the middle of one shoulder, across to the other and down to about the middle of the forearm (or where ever you want the poncho to fall). Times that number by 2, and that is how many inches you need to make your chain. I measured her at 18" so I chained for 36".

Row 1: hdc in the 2nd ch from hook. hdc in each ch across.
Row 2: ch 2 loosely (counts as first dc now and throughout) and turn. Dc in each hdc across.
Row 3: ch 2 loosely and turn. Dc the next dc and in each dc across. Repeat row 3 until the body measures the length you’d like it to be.

To finish, fold the body in half and match up dc of the last row made. Ch 1, turn. With the dc lined up, sl st in the dc of both thicknesses to make the seam. Continue working sl sts towards the middle until you’ve got the hole for the head the size that you’d like for it to be. Weave in ends.  http://library.ravelry.com/dandelions2/1680/Dandelion_Dreamers_Poncho.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=1YZR91QYB6WCG3PM78G2&Expires=1272575354&Signature=GJlNSEySYTot9CaOUH%2FQj5xDFQE%3D
