Home / Girls / Others / #7017 Poncho
Difficulty: *
Recommended fabrics: well-draping woolen, blended or synthetic fabrics, with pattern or without one.
You will need: Heavyweight well-draping fabric for shell; 1 toggle closure; 2 decorative metal snaps 1.4 cm (9/16”) in diameter; skein of white yarn.
Note: This model requires a lot of handstitching. If you want to save time, or don’t like to handstitch, use regular topstitching instead. In cases where decorative hand-stitching with white yarn is suggested, you can machine-topstitch edges of poncho with contrasting threads.
Attention! Fabric consumption varies depending on the size of garment. First of all, print out paper patterns and lay them out at the width of fabric/ knit you plan to use, to see how much fabric you will need.
When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches- they must coincide.
