Knitting Pattern 102 – Poncho Hat & Leg Warmers

Instructions to knit a little poncho, tea bag hat and the cutest leg warmers by customer request.  The poncho fastens at the front with 4 buttons, so that when it starts to get a little bit tighter getting over the growing baby’s head, just use the front fastening to put it on, and you can get even more wear out of it!  This set features a lacy shell pattern.  There is a matching pull-on teabag hat and leg warmers that fold down at the top.

To knit this baby poncho you will need to be able to knit, purl, wind yarn around needle, slip stitches, drop loops and knit 2 stitches together.
