PONCHO STYLE PULLOVER
PONCHO STYLE PULLOVER
by Marilyn Prince
This pattern was designed by myself. Any similarity to other designs is purely coincidental. I designed this cute litle American Girl poncho style pullover to be knitted in one piece. You start at the bottom ribbing, continue up the front, cast offor the neck opening, then continue down the back. The cowl collar is picked up and knitted around the neck opening. Buttons are attached to close up the sides. A pretty box stitch is used to give some texture. Yarn LUV Baby by Easy Knit Yarns, 120g, 360m, 1 ball. I used colorway Baby pink. Needles (US size 6) 4mm circular needles, or size to obtain gauge Stitch Markers Yarn Needle 4 small buttons Gauge 22 sts and $28\;\mathsf{r o w s}=4^{\ast}\left(10\mathsf{c m}\right)\cdot$ over Stitch pattern Finished Measurements $9^{\ast}$ (23cm) wide by 8" (20cm) long
