This pattern creates a plus sized poncho fitting sizes 16 – 24. 
Materials: Sport or worsted weight yarn, 17 – 20 oz; K hook
Notes: First ch 3 counts as first dc throughout. In this pattern, the v­stitches 
are separated by ch 1 and also contain a ch 1. Be sure to make v­stitches 
in the ch 1 spaces BETWEEN the v­stitches of the previous round, NOT in 
the ch 1 at the center of each v­stitch.
Do not turn at the end of rounds throughout.
To increase the size of the poncho, work each of the four pieces with 
additional rounds. One side of the first piece (5­pointed) is the correct size 
when it measures from the top of one shoulder across your back to the 
other shoulder. Remember that you'll be adding some rows for a border. 
Make each piece the same number of rounds.
To decrease the size of the poncho, work each of the four pieces with 
fewer rounds. One side of the first piece (5­pointed) is the correct size 
when it measures from the top of one shoulder across your back to the 
other shoulder. Remember that you'll be adding some rows for a border. 
Make each piece the same number of rounds.

Daisy Halter Top a bybetseyann original design

This pattern creates a girls halter top fitting sizes 6 - 10.

Materials: Worsted weight yarn, purple - 8 oz, white - 8 oz, small
amount gold
H hook
Notes: Beginning chain 3 counts as first dc throughout.
When working the body, I recommend carrying the yarn you are not
using under the stitches through the work, but you’re welcome to use the
color changing method you prefer. When changing colors, get a more
even appearance by working the last stitch in color A to the last step,
then completing the stitch with color B (i.e. last dc with purple before
changing to white: yarn over, insert hook, pull up loop, yarn over, pull
through first two loops on hook, yarn over with white, drop purple, pull
through final two loops on hook.)

Special Stitches:
2dctog: Work 2 dc in two consecutive
stitches or spaces, leaving the last
loop on the hook for each dc then
finishing by pulling yarn through
all 3 loops on hook. Yarn over,
insert hook, pull up loop, yarn
over, pull through first two loops
on hook, yarn over, insert hook in
next stitch, pull up loop, yarn
over, pull through first two loops
on hook, yarn over, pull through
all three loops on hook.
Body:
Worked in rounds from center. Do not
turn at ends of rounds.

recommend measuring with a

30 oz Color A (yellow)
4 oz color B (multi)

I and J hooks

5 – 8 buttons (depending on size)

Notes:
Instructions are for size L-XL. Instructions for size S-M and 1X-2X are in
parentheses (SM / 1X2X). For sizes S-M or 1X-2X, when a repeat is
indicated, work the row as it is written, not as you worked it. For example, on
the body, Row 32 indicates a repeat of row 30. Sizes S-M and 1X-2X will
work this row as written in the pattern, not as your row 30 was worked.

The right side will be facing you as you work sc rows.

Special Stitches:
2sctog: Decrease by working 1 sc over the next two stitches – insert hook,
yarn over & through stitch (2 loops on hook), insert hook into next stitch,
yarn over & through stitch, pull through all three loops on hook.

Note: Using scraps of yarn, mark where
centers of buttonholes should be
placed. As row 3 is worked, create
spaces for buttonholes by skipping
the required number of stitches,
chaining an equal number, then
continuing in pattern. For example, I
placed a button along row 2 and
counted the number of stitches
required to accommodate the widest
part of the button. My buttons
required 3 stitches, so I worked sc in
ch-1 sp, ch 3, skipped (sc, ch-1, sc)
(three stitches), sc in ch-1 sp for each
buttonhole.
Row 3: Repeat row 2, working
buttonholes where needed.
Row 4: Repeat row 2, working as many sc
in each buttonhole as the number of
chains or stitches skipped on row 3. (I
worked sc in ch-1 sp, ch 1, 3 sc in ch-
3 sp, ch 1, sc in ch-1 sp, etc), fasten
off.
Row 5: Attach B in first sc of edging left
unworked on collar after row 1 of

Sleeves are worked in rounds.
