How much fabric do I need for a poncho?

Most adults will need a piece of fabric about the dimensions of a normal couch throw, while children will obviously need smaller pieces of fabric. Err on the side of using too much fabric, rather than too little. It’s easier to trim a poncho to make it shorter than to sew extra fabric on to make it longer.

How do you measure a child for a poncho?
