Sawtooth border measures about 1¼” wide at its deepest point.

Notes

The poncho begins by working a strip of the sawtooth border, then stitches for the short side of the rectangle are picked up along the straight edge of this border. The main rectangle is worked in pattern from the Little Butterfly chart, with a sawtooth border running up along the edge at the start of RS rows.

This project is worked with one strand of each yarn held together throughout.
