As a total novice, my gauge leaves A LOT to be desired. I’ve added a couple of repeats to make my poncho (hopefully) about a large, small size.

I’ve also added an extra stitch to either end to make a slightly wider border to help with seaming.

Grrr… run out of yarn. Even with serious blocking it is measuring about 30cm too short. Poof.
Do I buy a third skein? No I don’t.

Instead, I (eventually) carefully seam it up and wear it as is. It’s cute actually.
