To create a Poncho from the Wrap

1. Fold your wrap in half with the right sides together. Place a stitch marker 12, 13 or 15” inches from the fold along the edge, depending on the size you are making. 2. Use a yarn needle and matching yarn to stitch up the top edge from the corner to the stitch marker. 3. Once you reach the stitch marker, try it on to make sure you like the size of the neck opening. Then fasten off and cut your yarn. Weave in your ends. 4. Turn your poncho right side out to wear.
