*coming out of lurk-land* Is there an adults version of this poncho?

Here are a couple of variations of it to fit an adult:

This is good to hear....I just finished the first rectangle for mine, measuring 9"x16" and I can't for the life of me figure out how this is going to become a poncho. At least I know I'm on the right track.

Off to watch Amy's video now......

THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!!!!! Thank you Amy!!

It's really cool how it comes together, huh? :D You can also adapt the same pattern for an adult sized one, by making larger rectangles. You can simply use newspaper to cut out the right size rectangles to tape together to size it for an adult, then knit your rectangles to match the size of the newspaper rectangles. You'd just need to figure out how many to cast on in order to get the necessary width (to match the paper).

Ok, I need your help converting this to adult size. How do I do it? Do you think it would be best to try it up on my daughter and myself to see what will fit? or just make a swatch and go from there?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to this forum... joined bc I am learning to knit.

I went to Hobby Lobby today and got some homespun yarn and some yarn bee yarn to make this with... I wondered, how old is your DD yarnmommy? My DD is 2.5. I'm wondering how this will work for her...

Hi to all, Love the poncho but need help. Can we start over? I understand that there are 2 rectangles made and sewed together to make the poncho.Is this correct? How many stitches would you use for a small
4 1/2 year old granddaughter?
Thank you for all your help!
