Pretty Poncho

      My sister requested a poncho.  So many of the poncho patterns out there look like big granny squares folded into triangles.  I wanted to do something different.  This pattern is sized as Women's XL, but the size is adjustable by adding or removing stitches from the beginning chain or by reducing hook size.  Here she is modeling the creation.

I made the poncho very long.  Some people prefer a shorter poncho.

The stitch is sort of a shell.  The poncho can be worn as a rectangle, the front edge going straight across, or as a triangle with the point centered in the front.
