This poncho is very basic, just two rectangles sewn together. The Criss Cross Stitch pattern is what really makes unique. The stitch is easy to wrap, and the results are outstanding. Because it is not fitted, the poncho will fit a variety sizes from 2 years old, with room to grow, up to 6 years old. It’s a quick knit; perfect for spring or fall. Instructions are included to make a matching 18” doll poncho.
