I’ve updated this pattern and included a crochet video tutorial. I hope you love making and wearing this poncho.
The yarn is Red Heart Unforgettable in the color Petunia. This is a #4 worsted weight yarn with 270 yards/246 meter, 3.5 oz/100 grams in each skein.
Poncho Pattern
Start by selecting your starting number of foundation single crochets (fsc) for the neckline. This will be the opening of the neck to sit around your shoulders. Next, make as many of the pattern repeat rounds to fit around you and drape down your arm to your desired length. I’ve given stitch and row counts as a guideline, but you may want to alter them to fit your body. Sample shown is in size Med-Lrg.
