I’ve had several people ask me about a poncho pattern featured on this Raveler’s Llama.
I’ve tried contacting her but didn’t get a response, so I finally decided to make my own to share with everyone. (I inadvertently used turkey colors, but these are what I had, so…. )
LLAMA PONCHO PATTERN
DISCLAIMER:
This pattern is for personal use only. Do not duplicate, translate, distribute, publish, share, or resell any part of it in any way, shape, or form, online or offline. Commercial distribution is strictly prohibited. Finished items may be sold but only in limited quantities, handmade by you, and must refer back to Kamidake Fiber Arts as the pattern’s author.
MATERIALS
Yarn: Worsted weight yarn
Hook: US E (3.5 mm)
HOW TO READ THIS PATTERN
#: Indicates the number of times to perform a certain stitch. If no number is shown, then just do it once.
Example: SC3 = SC in each of the next 3 stitches, Ch6 = Chain 6 times. SL = slip stitch once
( ) x #: Stitches in ( ) are to be performed and repeated the number of times indicated by #.
Example: (SC1, SC inc) x 2 = you will do SC1, SC inc, SC 1, SC inc.
[ ]: Indicates end result stitches for that round.
Around: Do the specified stitches all the way around the current round.
Example: (SC, SC inc) around = you will do SC and SC inc, repeat these 2 stitches to the end of round.
Turn: After turning, always start the next stitch in the 2nd stitch from hook, unless noted otherwise.
{color}: Indicates Color of yarn to use for the next set of stitches.
ABBREVIATIONS
Abbreviations are based on US crochet terminology
Ch: Chain
SL: Slip Stitch
SC: Single Crochet
SC inc: Single Crochet increase – SC twice into next stitch
HDC: Half Double Crochet
HDC Inc: Half Double Crochet increase – HDC twice into next stitch
INSTRUCTIONS:
Colors noted are the colors I used, feel free to substitute whatever color you like.
Important notes:
• Knowledge of color change is required. Feel free to use any color change methods you like, but make sure the float is not tight.
• For best results, use a jogless method of ending the rounds. The method I used is after the last stitch of the current round, SL into the first stitch of the same round, Ch1, and then start the first stitch of the next round in the same stitch as the SL.
Pattern Repeat: Gray squares are in one color and white squares are in a contrast color.
