"I've been making baby blankets this way since the early '90's. In the early days of the internet, I bragged about it, now every yarn company on the planet seems to have a pattern to do it. For full size blankets, make multiple large squares and sew them together."
Lisa
"How you carry the yarn has nothing to do with the completed size, the gauge determines that, it would appear that your gauge is way off. The gauge is 19 stitches for 4", the cast on is 47 stitches, so the piece should come out around 9.5" and yours is slightly more than half of that. There is a note near the beginning that instructs how to adjust gauge."
Lisa
"I haven't made it because I cast on and by row 3 the pattern is over because there are not enough stitches to complete that row based on the instructions given, you need to have 8 stitches at that point and there are only 6 stitches. The pattern has to increase, but for every increase there is a decrease, therefore you can never have more than 6 stitches on the needle. I'm going to amend the pattern, since I like the look of the two colours and just do a yo increase until my desire length, then do the decrease for the second half to finish it."
Lisa
"This pattern is about 15 years old, so it only stands to reason that some colours or yarns may have been discontinued in that time. Typically in knitting pattern acronyms are not included unless it is a new stitch or relatively new stitch pattern, some beginner patterns do include an explanation of the acronyms, but this is not a beginner pattern it is an easy pattern, so it would be uncommon for them to be included."

Sweet Scarlet Poncho

Sweet Scarlet Poncho

"Scarlet is a striking and easy poncho made in banana silk yarn. There is a small amount of shaping at the shoulders to help it lay nicely. Due to the weight of the banana silk, there is little to no blocking necessary, which is always a nice little bonus (the sample in the photos has NOT been blocked)! The weight of the yarn also causes the poncho to lay very nicely."

What a bright and colorful shawl. It is bound to turn some heads and get some attention. I bet some people will even ask when I got this from. This turned out a lot better than I had expected and the fit is nearly perfect. It was very easy to do and this was my first time working with a silk blend yarn.

I have not tried this pattern yet but the instructions looks fairly easy to follow. Fall is here and ponchos are always in order. The weather is not too cold yet you need something extra to put on. I have friends who love ponchos so they make great gifts as well. Thank you.

I was curious when I saw this pattern about the banana silk yarn. It looks pretty and has a lovely texture. I learned that it is hand spun from banana fibers so will vary in thickness and tightness. I like using recycled and repurposed fibers for knitting so I would like to try using this pattern.
