Materials Needed

• Hook: Size Q (15 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in openwork pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain 60: Begin by chaining 60 loosely. Ensure that your chain is not too tight as this will affect the overall drape of the poncho. Once you have your chain, join it with a slip stitch to form a ring. Be careful not to twist the chain as this will create an uneven shape.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Now, *skip 2 chains, and double crochet in the next chain. After that, chain 2*. Repeat from * to * around the entire ring. Once you reach the end of the round, join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3. This forms the first round of your openwork pattern.
3. Round 2: To start the next round, slip stitch into the first chain-2 space. Then, chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Now, *double crochet in the next chain-2 space, then chain 2*. Repeat from * to * around the ring. When you reach the end of the round, join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3.
4. Continue Rounds: Keep repeating Round 2 until your poncho measures approximately 24 inches from the neckline. This will give you a lovely flowing poncho that drapes beautifully.
5. Finish Up: Once you have reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends to ensure a neat finish.
