Especially cute look children's poncho model, and a girl with a romantic nature will see a delicate openwork poncho with knitting needles.
Unlike other knitted products, it is not very difficult to knit a poncho with your own hands. For example, consider how to tie a poncho for a girl.
Choosing a poncho model
To connect a poncho, you first need to determine its model and size. Finding a size is quite easy, as it is a peculiar cape, suitable for any shape. And the length of a poncho can be increased if necessary, right at the time of knitting (by trying it on), since the poncho basically knits from the top down.
Then you have to choose the yarn. Color does not matter, choose according to your taste.
We knit a poncho
Children's poncho with knitting needles can be knit with a single cloth, in the direction from top to bottom. Both matings are performed on circular knitting needles, in this way it is more convenient to distribute a large number of loops of a poncho fabric. And also you can link (also from top to bottom) individual parts of the gear and back, and then sew them into the whole product.
Knitting with circular knitting needles is performed in the following way: the spoke with the last typed loop is held in the right hand, and the spoke with the 1st loop is in the left. Begin knitting with the 1st typed loop, while slightly pulling the thread so that an opening does not form. Continue to work until the marking ring, after which the mating of the first circle is finished. After that, move the ring to the right knitting needle and knot the next circle.
Circular knitting with knitting needles looks like this: the required number of loops is typed on the spoke, add one additional loop. Then remove this additional loop on the other spoke. And continue to gain the necessary number of loops already on the other spoke. After that, place the spokes with the typed loops in such a way that a triangle is formed. The marking ring is placed behind the last typed loop. Now take the free spoke and tie the first loop, while slightly pulling the thread. After tying one circle, the ring is moved.
Picking up a poncho
When assembling the poncho, follow the instructions given in the assembly instructions for the model. If you use very thick or textured yarn, then sew details with a thin thread that fits in color.
For stapling parts of the product, use a long thread, which remained during the set of the 1st row of one of the parts. Thread the thread in the eye of the needle (darning), put the linens that will be sewn, face up. Now insert the needle into the outer loop of the 2nd part from the bottom up, describe the thread "eight" and again insert the needle into the outer loop of the 1st part (also from the bottom up). Then gently pull the canvas so that the edges are connected.
We decorate the poncho
If you still decide to knit a poncho for a girl with knitting needles, then do not forget to decorate it. The edges of the poncho can be decorated with fringe. Depending on how much yarn you have left, and taking into account your own wishes, the fringe can be short or long. Also use to decorate brushes and pom-poms. On the festive poncho, the rhinestones and beads sewn along the canvas will look beautiful.
