Let's begin!
Poncho:
Begin at the neck line. Ch 44 loosely. Join with ss to form a ring.

Rnd 2: Ch 3, 3dc in the same space, *shell in the space between next 2 shells*, repeat * to * 10 times, dbl shell in the next space between the next 2 shells (thus creating a corner). Repeat * to * 10 times, 2 dc into the space where you previously did ch3; 3dc, join to the ch3 with ss, this is the other corner . Corners will be longer than the body of the poncho.
Rnd 3: Ch 3, 3dc in the same space, *shell in the space between next 2 shells*, repeat * to * until you come to the point, dbl shell in the space between the dbl shell of the last row; repeat * to * until you come to where you previously did ch3; 3 dc, join to the ch3 with ss.

| A Happy Alpaca Direct Customer Says: |
| |
| I have recently purchased Baby Cashmerino yarn from you. My local yarn
shop frustrated me with slow and sloppy service and I turned to you
since my project had a deadline approaching fast (baby blankets for
twin girls due early May). Your service rep was extremely helpful and
checked on the spot yarn availability. You had it available and
shipped the same day and I got it within 3 days which greatly helped
my stress level and now I am almost done with the first blanket and
looking forward to start the second. The yarn is beautiful, colors are
exactly as shown on your website and exactly what I wanted. Thank you
so much. I should have just skipped my local yarn shop and gone
directly to you. I'll remember it for the next time. And by the way
your price was LOWER than my local shop. Thank you again. You are the
best.
Gratefully
