![]() Join with a sl st in the first fpdc of the round – 80 sts (1 fpdc in the next st, 1 bpdc in the next st) 39 times. Rnd 2: Ch 2, fpdc in the first dc of the last round, bpdc in the next dc. Join with a sl st to the first dc of the round. Rnd 1: Ch 2, dc in the same stitch as join. Join with a slip stitch to form a ring, making sure not to twist. Two types of fringing is offered in this pattern, the Double Chain Fringe of the original design, and the regular fringe which I have been favoring lately – both types are included in the instructions. If you need a wider poncho, evenly place an even number of increases at Round 10 in order to size up. ![]() The Winter Poncho is closed at the top with a drawstring, but the rest of the shape is dictated by hook size and follows the same number of stitches through every round. Some of my Winter Ponchos have mixed #5 & #6 weight yarns, which works pretty well – but be sure to follow gauge if you substitute yarns! I have recommended Bernat Roving for this project, which is a #5 weight yarn but it gauges somewhere between a bulky yarn and a super bulky yarn. When joining rounds with the slip stitch, skip the ch-2 entirely and join into the first fpdc of the round. ![]() The chain-2 at the beginning of every round does not count as the first stitch of the round. Measurements (approximate): 40” circumference at the top, 54” circumference at the bottom, 18”long (not including fringe) Gauge:Ĥ sts & 3 rows = 2” in alternating fpdc/bpdc for 9.00 mm hook, 3 sts & 3 rows = 2” in alternating fpdc/bpdc for 11.5 mm hook. This is a wonderful project for using up bulky or super bulky scraps (see the notes for more about yarn substitution), it uses large hook sizes so that the project works up quickly, and it’s waaaaaaarm □ Winter Poncho Crochet Pattern Materialsħ skeins Bernat Roving (#5 weight, 100 g / 120 yds, 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool) – all solid-colored examples are made with this recommended yarn, the multi-colored examples are made with a mix of bulky and super bulky weight scrap yarns!Ĭhain (ch), Double Chain (dch), Double Crochet (dc), Slip Stitch (sl st), Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc), Back Post Double Crochet (bpdc) (click the links for tutorials!) Realizing that its thicc qualities made it a perfect item to have in the coldest months I decided to rename it – the Winter Poncho! This piece is a Big Booty Judy, made with thick warm woolen yarns, post stitches, and a cozy fit that hugs your shoulders for extra warmth. In this case, I considered just about every aspect of the pattern needed attention □ Including the name! While I liked “Boho Fringe” it just didn’t really fit the nature of the poncho. Sometimes I just have more to offer in terms of technical assistance – additional tutorial photos were a MUST with this piece – and sometimes I believe that the form & content of the design makes it a good candidate to be re-released for free (the Rhiannon Cowl is another great little project of mine that started as a paid PDF and then debuted on the blog as a free version!) I really enjoy revisiting my patterns to make sure that they are the best that they can be, and this is kind of a constant task as I’m always trying to grow and improve my skills as a pattern designer. Today, I’d like to introduce this same design as it’s been reformatted, tweaked for improvements, and released FOR FREE here on the blog! You can still get the updated crochet pattern as a PDF in my Ravelry and Etsy stores, or keep scrolling for the free pattern (which includes everything in the PDF) ![]() Five years ago in January I released the Boho Fringe Poncho as my tenth paid pattern. True to form, I’ve circled back around to reworking an older design at almost the exact anniversary of it’s original release.
