Rounds 5 to 9 – Increase Placement and Variation

Place two markers on opposite sides between the 4 tall stitches in the pattern to indicate where increases will be made.
Turn work each round, chaining 4 to start.
Save
In increase zones (marked), you will:
- Add extra extended double crochets or double treble crochets as per round instructions to widen the poncho.
- Include chain 5 spacers between stitch groups.
In other areas, continue the established pattern of alternating sets of extended double crochets and single crochets separated by chain 5.
Repeat increases symmetrically on both sides each round.

Continue working rounds until desired poncho length is reached, consistently working increases at markers and maintaining the stitch pattern in other areas.

Neckline Finishing

Insert thread in center of a group of 4 double crochets from Round 1.
Chain 1 and single crochet, then 7 standard double crochets in the large chain 5 spaces, then a single crochet in the center between groups.
Repeat around the entire neckline edge.
Join with slip stitch and fasten off.
Save

Adding Fringe

Cut multiple strands of yarn to 6 cm (or desired fringe length) by wrapping yarn around cardboard.
Fold strands in half, insert crochet hook into hem edge, pull loops through, and pull ends through loops to knot and secure fringe.
Repeat around entire bottom hem of poncho evenly spaced.
Trim fringe as needed for uniform length.
Save

Tips from the Tutor:

Work the sample first to perfect gauge and stitch technique before starting full-size poncho.
Keep stitch tension consistent, especially when working increases to maintain shape.
Use stitch markers strategically to not lose track of increases.
Fringes add a bohemian flare—make them longer or shorter depending on style preference.
Blocking your poncho after completion enhances the stitch definition and overall shape.

Uses:

Versatile summer outerwear piece that can be styled as a poncho, shawl, or scarf.
Suitable for casual outings or beachwear due to its light, breathable cotton fabric.

Conclusion

This poncho is a beautiful, airy project combining classic and extended crochet stitches with strategic shaping and finishing details like a neat neckline edge and fringes. With intermediate skills, you can customize the size and length to suit your style and enjoy a handmade accessory that’s both functional and fashionable.
