Pattern Corrections & Tips
- Multiple of 8 + 2 for start chain is required for correct stitching.
- Gauge/Size: Panel size can be adapted by adding or reducing foundation chains (in 8s) and/or repeating row sets for added length.
- Turning Chains: Ch 3 always counts as first dc; ch 1 and ch 2 chains create the eyelets and spaces.
- Blocking panels before seaming will help edges straighten out.
- Attaching Roses: Evenly space roses at neckline for symmetry; sew them securely.
Tip:
Try using different color roses for a custom look, or metallic/variegated yarn for the poncho.
