Materials Needed:
- The Poncho you’ve already made
- Crochet hook (6.00 MM)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Measuring tape
- Additional matching yarn
Pattern Steps:
Prepare the Poncho:
- Fold the Poncho so the increase is facing you.
- Place a stitch marker in the space where the increase started.
Attach Yarn:
- Skip the first three spaces from the marked space.
- Attach the yarn in the next space up using your preferred method (e.g., slip knot).
Start Crocheting:
- Chain three (this counts as the first double crochet).
- Place two more double crochets in the same space to complete the first block.
Continue Around:
- Chain one, then create a three double crochet block in the next space.
- Repeat this around the Poncho.
First Row Completion:
- Upon reaching the marked increase space, stop one space before it for round completion.
- Chain three and turn your work to start the next row.
Second Row and Beyond:
- Place a block in each chain one space from the previous row.
- Continue with this pattern (chain three and turn at the end of each row) until the hood measures 15-16 inches tall.
Closing the Hood:
- After reaching the desired length, cut the yarn leaving a long tail.
- Use the yarn needle to sew the top of the hood closed using a whip stitch method.
Creating and Attaching a Drawstring:
- Create a chain long enough to stretch across the hood opening and weave through.
- Optionally, add decorative tassels to the ends of the drawstring.
Adding a Border (Optional):
- Single crochet around the opening of the hood for a neater finish.
- Perform two rows of single crochet stitches, placing two single crochets into each side of a double crochet from the previous rows.
Finishing:
- Weave in any loose ends.
- Attach tassels or pom poms if desired to the drawstring ends.
Care and Maintenance
- Follow typical care instructions for the yarn used to ensure longevity of the hood.
Additional Tips:
- Ensure consistent tension to keep the hood even.
- Customize the hood size and drawstring length according to your needs or style preferences.
