If you’re headed to a baby shower soon, or expecting a little one yourself, you have got to work up a 3/6 month version of the On Point Poncho.
3/6 Month Poncho Pattern
Shannon is one of my testers and worked up an adult size of the On Point Poncho. When finished she had enough yarn left over to make her infant daughter one as well. How adorable are they in their matching sweaters?! ♥
Sizes of this pattern include:
Newborn
3/6 Month (this one!)
9/12 Month
12/18M
2/3T
4/6 Youth
8/10 Youth
10/12 Youth
Because there are so many sizes available, you can literally make one for every stage in your little one’s growth. And of course there is an adult size, which can be found here, that goes up to 4XL!
Materials:
Lightweight/Size 3/DK yarn (w/o fringe)
-approx. 170 yards for 3/6M
6mm hook (or size needed to obtain gauge)
Gauge: 12 dc sts x 8 rows = 4”
Pattern Notes:
Start at the top and work your way down.
Pattern starts at the center back and is joined in rounds, turning each row.
Place first stitches of each row in the same space as join. (the ch-2 does not count as a stitch)
Odd numbered rows are “right side” and even numbered rows are “wrong side”. When finished with row 1, you could add a safety pin to remind you which side is which.
