This is my first design of a crochet poncho – a small warm layer with a cowl neck collar for cold days. I like something made with simple crochet stitches and worsted weight yarn, fitted type layer so it won’t overwhelm my small figure.

Materials: ( I used )
5mm crochet hook
Worsted weight yarn: gray color (  about 220 gr for the sample – size L / 50 gr or 218 yds per skein )

Yarn needle
Scissors

Abbreviations

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 🙂

Special stitches used: 

V stitch: ( dc, ch1, dc ) into same stitch or space.

2dc – V stitch: ( 2dc, ch1, 2dc ) into same stitch or space.

This crochet Warm Embrace poncho pattern fits size L ( chest size: 36 to 38 inches )

Skill level: Intermediate

Gauge: 6 double crochet stitches x 5 rows = approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
