Crochet Poncho Tutorial

 

 

This Poncho measures about 18-19 inches in length and you can make this longer by adding more rounds, I did 8 rounds of each color 3 times for 24 rounds, or you can do 9 rounds of each color 3 times for 27 rounds. 

Abbreviations: Ch=chain Sl st=slip stitch Dc=double crochet Supplies: Medium worsted yarn, about half or less skein of 3 three colors. J hook, yarn needle 

Rnd 1: chain 92, connect the last chain and first chain together with a slip stitch, make sure to not twist your chains or loops. This will be the neck part of the poncho. 

Rnd 2: Chain 3 (counts as a dc), dc in each chain around, make sure you have a total of 92.

Rnd 3: Chain 4 (counts as a dc and chain 1), skip next dc, *dc in the next 3 dc, ch 1, skip next dc, *Repeat around, you will end with a dc in the last two stitches, then sl st on top of the chain 3.

Rnd 4: Sl st into the chain 1, Chain 4 (counts as a dc and chain 1), work 3 dc, in the same space, ch 1, *work 3 dc in the next chain 1 space, ch 1, *Repeat until you are to the half way point, fold the pattern in half, which is about 10 chain 3’s, directly across from the beginning of this round, you will place a stitch marker right across from the beg stitch, once you get to the half way point, work a corner with 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, then ch 1, *work 3 dc in the next ch 1 space, ch 1, *Repeat until you get to the beginning, in the beginning end with 2 dc in the beginning chain space, sl st on top of the chain 3, that will create your second increase corner.

Rnds 5- to desired length, **Repeat round 4 until you have your desired length. I did 8 rounds of 3 different colors. I did 8 rounds of blue, then 8 rounds of white, then 8 rounds of grey. So a total of 24 rounds after the dc round. 

If you want it a bit longer, you can do 9 rounds of each color, or if you do one color, then you could do a couple more rounds. I’m about a size medium and about 5’ 6” and it went a little past my hips as seen in the photo. 

When you change colors, you will sl st into the beginning stitch with your new color. Fasten off and Weave in all your ends as the end. You can add tassels. Cut 8-9 inch strands of yarn. I did 4 strands and in each chain space, I looped the strands of yarn into each chain space. Best show in the video.
