easiest poncho you can ever make, and all with leftover scraps of yarn

1) Collect all your yarn scraps. Colour, tension, or style of yarn doesn't really matter. The more ecclectic, the better.

2) Get an 8mm (I think size L) crochet hook. With one of your longest strands, ch 72 & join into a circle. (This'll make a loose neck hole.)

3) Ch 2 (counts as 1dc). 1dc in each ch around to form a solid circle. (this will come up as an ever so slight collar.) join to form circle.

4) Ch 2 (counts as 1dc). *3dc in next single dc. 1 dc in next 18 dc.* Repeat to end, join. This forms your 4 corners of poncho - each corner falls one in front, one behind, and over each arm.

5) Ch 2 (counts as 1dc). 3 dc in center dc of last 3dc. 1 dc straight across until center of next point, 3dc again. Continue doing around until row is done.

6) Repeat step 5 until desired length of poncho, or until all ur scraps are used up.

 

cool. does it turn out squareish?

 

yep, square or diamond shaped, depending on how you choose to wear it.

I made one using uniformed yarn (instead of scraps)... I couldn't figure out how to resize the pic but I have it for sale on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...Fws%2F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=9312201350&fvi=1
