Baby Poncho

I was wanting to do this for a while now, but figured it could wait until my son started showing signs that it was time to sit up. Well he isn't exactly there. He is soon on his way.

Its a simple design and could be continued in the rows to make it as large as you want.  I think this is honestly the first thing he doesn't mind wearing.  I will post the example sometime later as my GIMP program seems to be crashing each time I opening it. It really is one of the easiest designs I have ever followed. After that Lapa, I found the Foundation chain to be really helpful.  I had (60) FSC sl st into a ring. and then Sc into each. Next Row: ch 3, 2hdc into previous sp, ch 1 *[Hdc 3 into one every 3 sc then, sc]* Repeat (10 times) then place an extra 3 hdc into previous space. sc. Repeat from *. When you reach the beginning of this row sl st in first ch.
This creates a granny-square effect, and each proceeding ro you will always do that double 3hd into the previous space between (3hdc, sc, 3hdc, sc.) This will create the length and height required on the body and arms.
