A Poncho for My Friend Debbie


<

I made this by casting on 80 stitches onto size 17 needles.  The colors are alternated with a double strand of 2 different black yarns.  I knitted a row or 2 of each color using over 60 different yarns for lots of variety.  After knitting 2 rectangles 80 stitches wide by about 28-30 inches long, sew them together at the shoulder leaving a 12" neck hole.  By rotating the neck the poncho can be worn with a point in the front or straight across.  Last add 12" fringe pieces.
