Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to make a beautiful Poncho using super bulky yarn. With just 20 simple rounds, you can create a sophisticated and stylish Poncho that is perfect for any occasion. We will guide you step by step through the process, from creating the foundation to adding the finishing touches. So let's get started and make your own fabulous Poncho!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials you will need for this project. Here's a list of things you will need:

• Super bulky yarn (in three different colors)
• Crochet hook
• Scissors

Make sure to choose colors that complement each other and that you love. Once you have all the materials ready, we can move on to creating the foundation for your Poncho.

Creating the Foundation

To start off, we will create the foundation of our Poncho. This will be the base on which all the rounds will be built. Using your first color of super bulky yarn, make a slip knot and chain in multiples of six. For example, you can chain sixty.

Make sure that when you form the chain, it can comfortably fit over your head later on when it becomes a ring. Once you have made your chain, carefully go back to the beginning to ensure it is not twisted. Make a slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring and start Round 1.

Round 1: Starting the Poncho

For Round 1, we will be creating the first set of double crochets. Start by chaining three, which will count as the first double crochet. Then, make double crochet into all of the chains you made. Since we chained sixty, you will need to make sixty double crochets, including the chain of three at the end of this round. Once you have completed all sixty double crochets, cut the yarn and prepare to change color for Round 2.

Round 2: Changing Color

To change color for Round 2, take the hook out of the loop and insert it from the back to the front through the back bump and back loop of the third chain. This will create two pieces of yarn on your hook. Pull the loop through from the front to the back, make a chain, and secure the loose end.

Now, you can start Round 2 with a new color. Before starting, divide the total number of double crochets you have by two. For example, if you have sixty double crochets, divide sixty by two, which equals thirty. This means you will have thirty doubles on the first side, thirty doubles on the second side, and two corners (one at the back and one at the front of the Poncho).

Begin Round 2 by making a chain of three, which will count as the first double crochet towards the second side. Then, chain three again to create the first corner space. Make three doubles into the next three stitches, which will count towards the first side. Continue this pattern, making three doubles with a chain in between, until you have thirty doubles for the first side. Don't forget, the chain of three counts towards the second side. On the second side, make only twenty-nine doubles. Once you have completed the round, make a slip stitch into the third chain to finish the round.

Round 3: Creating Corners

In Round 3, we will be creating corners and continuing the pattern. Start with a chain of three for the first double crochet. Then, make two doubles into the chain space and chain three. Make three more doubles into the same chain space. This will create a corner. From here, continue with the pattern by making three doubles with a chain in between.

Repeat this pattern until you reach the corner chain space. Once you reach the corner, make a chain of three and create the corner with three doubles, three chains, and three doubles. Continue the pattern on the second side, making three doubles with a chain in between. Finish the round with a chain of one and a slip stitch into the first chain to complete the round.

Round 4: Continuing the Pattern

Round 4 is all about continuing the pattern we established in the previous rounds. Start by changing color again, and begin with a chain of three. Make two doubles into the chain space, and chain three. Repeat the corner pattern by making three doubles and three chains in the corner space. Continue with the pattern of making three doubles with a chain in between until you reach the next corner. Repeat the corner pattern, and continue the same pattern on the second side.

Make sure to finish the round with a chain of one and a slip stitch into the first chain to complete the round. You can repeat this pattern and make as many rounds as you like to achieve the desired length of your Poncho. Experiment with color combinations and have fun with it!

Round 5: Adding More Rounds

In Round 5, we will continue adding more rounds to our Poncho. Start with a chain of three for the first double crochet. Then, make two doubles into the chain space and chain three. Make three more doubles into the chain space. This creates a corner. From here, continue the pattern by making three doubles with a chain in between.

Repeat this pattern until you reach the corner chain space. As before, make a chain of three and create the corner with three doubles, three chains, and three doubles. Continue the pattern on the second side, making three doubles with a chain in between. Finish the round with a chain of one and a slip stitch into the first chain to complete the round.

Changing Colors Again

To add visual interest to your Poncho, consider changing colors again in subsequent rounds. You can switch to a different color after a few rounds or whenever you feel like it. Simply put your hook through the third chain from the back to the front, pull the loop through from the front to the back, and make a chain. Now you can start a new color in the next round and continue following the pattern.

Adding Tassels

Lastly, let's add some tassels to give your Poncho a fashionable touch. Cut your tassels to be about 10 inches long and use three strands for each tassel. Place your Poncho right side up and go from the wrong side through to the right side. Fold your tassels in half and pull them through the corner space. Straighten them out a bit and then pull them through the loop one more time. Tighten everything down.

Go into all of the spaces from the wrong side to the right side, folding the tassels in half and pulling them through. Pull them through the loop and tighten everything down. Repeat this process for all the tassels. Arrange your tassels any way you like. Once you have finished attaching all the tassels, your Poncho is complete!
