Crochet Hooded Poncho

Materials Needed:

• The Poncho you've already made
• Crochet hook (6.00 MM)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle
• Measuring tape
• Additional matching yarn

Pattern Steps:

Prepare the Poncho:

• Fold the Poncho so the increase is facing you.
• Place a stitch marker in the space where the increase started.

Attach Yarn:

• Skip the first three spaces from the marked space.
• Attach the yarn in the next space up using your preferred method (e.g., slip knot).

Start Crocheting:

• Chain three (this counts as the first double crochet).
• Place two more double crochets in the same space to complete the first block.

Continue Around:

• Chain one, then create a three double crochet block in the next space.
• Repeat this around the Poncho.

First Row Completion:

• Upon reaching the marked increase space, stop one space before it for round completion.
• Chain three and turn your work to start the next row.

Second Row and Beyond:

• Place a block in each chain one space from the previous row.
• Continue with this pattern (chain three and turn at the end of each row) until the hood measures 15-16 inches tall.

Closing the Hood:

• After reaching the desired length, cut the yarn leaving a long tail.
• Use the yarn needle to sew the top of the hood closed using a whip stitch method.

Creating and Attaching a Drawstring:

• Create a chain long enough to stretch across the hood opening and weave through.
• Optionally, add decorative tassels to the ends of the drawstring.

Adding a Border (Optional):

• Single crochet around the opening of the hood for a neater finish.
• Perform two rows of single crochet stitches, placing two single crochets into each side of a double crochet from the previous rows.

Finishing:

• Weave in any loose ends.
• Attach tassels or pom poms if desired to the drawstring ends.

Care and Maintenance

• Follow typical care instructions for the yarn used to ensure longevity of the hood.

Additional Tips:

• Ensure consistent tension to keep the hood even.
• Customize the hood size and drawstring length according to your needs or style preferences.
