Mitered Diamond Poncho


Easy to make poncho is really a big square made up of mitered diamonds.
Using Noro Kureyon, and size 8 needles, cast on 41 stitches for each diamond and decrease on the three center stitches as follows: Right side only, slip one, knit two together, pass slipped stitch over.

Begin at square one, of course, and pick up stitches along finished edge of that square for #2.

Pick up 20 sts and cast on 21. Knit in garter or choose 3 rows stockinette and do the fourth in reverse stockinette (K on wrong side) to form this design.

For the wrist and neck triangles: Right side: decrease one stitch at each side as well as center decreases. Bind off when 5 stitches remain.

To make the collar: Pick up stitches around the edges of the neck triangles and knit for 5-10 rounds as desired.

Finishing: sew underarm seams from wrist to half way toward bottom points. Block! for size.
