Crochet or Knit Poncho Pattern Mail Order Design 167

Poncho: This pattern contains directions to make the poncho included. Complete instructions are included for both knitting and crochet. An easy pattern stitch, in either method, worked in three colors of knitting worsted in a striped motif. The poncho crosses over in the front, creating a small pullover v-neckline and ends in long tufts of fringe - either one, or multi-colored -- your choice. This is a one-size pattern.
