This poncho is made out of two rectangles that are then sewn together almost like a typical poncho—or exactly like a typical poncho. Take your pick!

Within each rectangle, 8 mitered squares are picked up from one another, so that there is no sewing within the rectangles.

The perimeter of the rectangles has an optional row of single crochet to tidy the edge.

Use one self-striping yarn, or unleash your creativity—and your stash!
