How to Make a Poncho for Kids
- 1). Lay the fleece out on a flat surface. Fold one corner of your square of fabric across to the diagonal corner to form a large triangle. Fold one of the other two corners across to its diagonal to make a smaller triangle. The top of this triangle is the center of the poncho.
- 2). Measure 3 inches in from the tip of the top triangle, and put a small dot on the fabric to mark your place.
- 3). Set a bowl upside down over the top corner and align the edge of the bowl with the point, with most of the bowl not on the fabric. Trace the arch of the bowl lightly onto the fabric.
- 4). Cut through all four layers of fabric following the drawn curved line to create a neck hole. Open the fabric out back into the square shape. If there are dangling pieces of fabric from the neck area, snip them off to leave a clean edge.
- 5). Cut 1-inch-wide, 3-inch-long strips into the edges of the fabric all the way around the square to create a fringe edge on the poncho.
- 6). Slip the poncho over your child's head and adjust so one corner hangs down the center in the front, one corner hands down each arm, and the last corner hangs down the center of the back.
