Skill Level

Beginner

Materials

• Size K crochet hook
• Lace or fingering weight yarn (cotton for the warm season)
• Yarn needle

Sizes

S/M (large)

Important Notes

Crochet very loosely. It is a little uncomfortable using a larger hook with smaller weight yarn, but it is necessary to create the openwork design.

Crochet in either the front loops only or back loops only. I did both...the one pictured was worked in the front loops only.

Pattern Instructions

Ch 25 (29)

Working in the back loop:

Row 1

Sc in 2nd st from hook. Sc in each ch across. Ch 1, turn.

Row 2

Sc in each st across. Ch 1, turn.

Repeat Row 2 until you reach the desired width to fit around your body. I stopped after 50 rows.

Finish off leaving about 12 inches of tail for sewing.

Assembly

Fold the piece in half. Using the tail, begin to whipstitch the top of the piece (not the side edges). Sew for approximately 4 or 5 inches. Finish off.

Weave all ends. The piece may appear small, but the texture is extremely stretchy (the poncho in the photo has not been blocked).

Customization Tips

Don't worry about messing up. This pattern can be altered in so many ways. I used size 3 fashion thread for the one in the photo, but you can use any yarn you choose. I like the lightweight for the warm weather.
