Patterns are for all gauges of machines with slip & tuck  ability including the Passap, ribber required on some patterns. 12 plus ponchos, with varying finishes including five edge finishes make this book a great buy.  The Girls Best Friend Diamond Poncho is my favorite, if you made this

with a gold/black very thin yarn, it would look great over a

long sleeved black evening gown with its cross in the front

& point in the back. Techniques and definitions, Passap info,

diagrams, charts, color photos, sized young kids to XL adults
