Assembly Lilly poncho.

Lay 2 pieces flat, then use one end of the back panel to attach to the front end of the front panel by sewing with your favorite method. pic below.

After attaching the front of the poncho already, we are now going to fold each end to create the back of the poncho and attach them by sewing. see pic below.

Now when you try it on, and it slips off your shoulder if the open neck is too wide for you, this problem has happened to me.

If the poncho does not slip off your shoulder when you guys try it on, then you do not need to do it.

we will sew a bit further up, about 3-4 inches up from the back panel. See pic below.

Now enjoy your new poncho.

Happy crocheting.
