You don’t need to click on the ads (unless you want to learn more about that ad product or service), but not skipping the ads gets the YouTube creator a little more revenue. And Google Adsense does not pay all that much. But once you get a lot (as in thousands upon thousands) of subscribers and a lot more views, then the revenue can start to add up. So…every little bit helps! Again…THANKYOUVERYMUCH

Click graphic to purchase online:
Crochet hook size I / 5.5 mm
Scissors
NOTES:
Work with a loose tension throughout.
Gauge not given as this design stretches quite a bit and you are encouraged to use a loose tension. This may skew the gauge for each crocheter.
Foundation Row: Ch 80 for XSm – Large (96 XL – 2X); sl st into first ch to form a ring. Ch 1. Be very careful to ensure the chain has not twisted!
Row 1: Sc in same sp and ea ch around. 80 (96) sc’s. Sl st in 1st sc.
Row 2: ch 1; dc in same sp; ch 5; dc in same sp to form a corner; *ch 5; sk 3 st’s; sc in next st*; repeat from * to * until you have 5 (6) ch 5 spaces and 4 (5) sc’s; ch 5.
**Sk 3 st’s; dc in next st, ch 5, dc in same st to form a corner**. Repeat from * to * for 5 (6) ch 5 sp’s and 4 (5) sc’s; ch 5; then repeat from ** to ** all twice more to complete the 4 sides.
You will end with 3 st’s remaining. Sl st into top of beginning dc. You will have created 4 corners.
Row 3: Sl st into ch 5 sp of 1st corner; ch 1; dc in same sp; ch 5; dc in same sp. *Ch 5; sc in next ch 5 sp; ch 5*. Repeat from * to * until you reach the next corner. **Dc in ch 5 sp of corner; ch 5; dc in same sp**. Repeat from * to * to next corner; then repeat from ** to ** to complete all sides. At end of last side, after completing the last ch 5, sl st at top of starting dc (of the same row).
Note: with this, and each subsequent row, you will be creating an additional ch 5 sp on each of 4 sides. This enlarges the poncho with each row and allows you to end on any row that fits your desired size.
Repeat Row 3 for as many rows as desired. See size suggestions below.
Extra Small = 23 total rows
Small = 25 rows
Medium = 27 rows
Large = 31 rows
Fringe:
Using any object to get 8 inch lengths of yarn (I used a small address book), wind yarn around aprox 20x. Cut along the bottom. Repeat as necessary to get enough lengths of yarn, using 3 per tassel, to cover the entire edge.
Take 3 lengths of yarn and fold in half. With poncho right side up, insert hook under a ch 5 sp, grab the yarn onto hook, pull through the space forming a loop large enough to pull the yarn though as shown in photo. With hook, pull the tail ends through loop.
Tighten gently to form knot. Repeat for ea ch 5 space, going around entire edge of poncho.

Can I use king of twrils 2ply. If so can you how many stitches I would need. Thank you
Hi Ronna,
I think it would be fine to use that yarn because it is the correct weight (Sport/Fine). I cannot advise regarding how many stitches to use as I have never used that particular yarn. As long as it is a #2 yarn you should be fine to use the pattern as written.
I hope this helps.

I’m so confused. I’m making the larger size 96 foundation chains which does not work out to make 4 corners. I end with 5 corners?? Have I done something wrong?
Hi Sharon,
I actually re-worked the first couple of rows for the larger size (96 ch’s) and it does work out to four corners. It’s a matter of very carefully following the instructions. Watch for the repeat stars (*). Some are one star * and some are two stars **. Take care that you are following the instruction between those stars when called for.
I hope this helps.
