Foundation Row

Body of the Poncho

1. Row 1: Single crochet in each stitch across the foundation row.

Armholes

To create the armholes, we will leave a gap in the stitching.

1. Row 26: Chain 1, turn. Single crochet in the first 50 stitches, chain 30, skip 30 stitches, single crochet in the remaining stitches across the row.
2. Row 27: Chain 1, turn. Single crochet in each stitch across the row, working into the chain-30 space as a single crochet.
3. Rows 28-40: Repeat Row 27.

Neckline

Once the armholes are complete, we will shape the neckline by decreasing stitches.

1. Row 41: Chain 1, turn. Single crochet in the first 25 stitches, skip 2 stitches, single crochet in the remaining stitches across the row.
2. Row 42: Chain 1, turn. Single crochet in each stitch across the row.
3. Rows 43-50: Repeat Row 42.

Finishing

1. Fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends.
2. Block the poncho by gently stretching it and pinning it to a flat surface. Allow it to dry completely.
