Gauge: 1 row = 1" and 1 completed crossed bar stitch = 2"

 

Adult size: one size fits most up to 2x

Finished poncho measures 11 1/2 inches from neckline to hem. I made this poncho to serve as a bed jacket to keep my shoulders warm. If you want a longer poncho, keep adding rows until it is as long as you desire.
