Question


I'm making a baby poncho. Row 26: K5, *increase one stitch, K5 repeat from * ending K1 (20 stitches increased) and place last 3 stitches on holder (121 stitches on needles). Do NOT turn work, poncho will now be done in the round.
Rounds start at the center front.

Round 27: Join by holding stitch holder in front of work (overlapping the buttonbands) and P2tog using one stitch from the holder and one stitch from the buttonband on the poncho, repeat 2 more times. (121 stitches) Place a Marker.

I am so lost. very confused on how to join. The yoke was knitted flat and now they want me to join.....but how?

Hi Carol,

In order to joint row 27 in round, you have to have all of of the stitches on circular needles. start with a short one that fit well with the york first. Once you have done that then you place the last 3 sts on a holder.

It is hard to explain how to do row 27, so I did a sketch for you. It'll be more clearer that just to say it. I tried my best and I hope it does the job. Please read instruction in the picture.

When the poncho is getting to tight for short circular needles then you can change it to a longer one.

Best to your poncho project!
