Period. 1561550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've used a sequence of simple pins to pin it together. &nbsp;Or sometimes I pin the short rectangle side (the plum on yours) to the top of the long rectangle side (the gray and black on yours) to create an exaggerated cowl neck poncho. &nbsp;Also, if yours is an open enough weave, you can use a cord or ribbon and sew the edge together with a blanket stitch, faggoting stitch or cross stitch, all of which are decorative. &nbsp;I'm awful at doing a mattress stitch (not really--I just don't find it enjoyable at all) so I'd rather do a decorative stitch!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-thistle-now-need-help-diying-a-poncho#post-1561537 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 23:57:56 +0000 Diana 1561537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall03/PATTponcho.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall03/PATTponcho.html</a></p> <p>Obviously you don't have to knit it first.
