What you need
Steps
Lay out your seven skeins of chunky wool and check the dye lots match. Wind one skein into a ball so it feeds smoothly.
Make a slip knot and chain enough stitches to fit over your head. Join with a slip stitch to form a ring, being careful not to twist it.
Work rounds of double crochet, adding a few increases at the corners so the fabric widens into a poncho shape.
Keep going in rounds until the poncho reaches the length you want, checking the fit against your shoulders as you go.
Fasten off and weave in the loose ends with a yarn needle. Block the poncho lightly so the edges sit flat.
Tips and common mistakes
Count your stitches at the end of each round so the poncho stays even.
Chunky yarn works up fast, so try it on before the last few rounds to get the length right.
Keep your tension loose so the neck opening stretches over your head.
Questions
Do I need to know many stitches?
Basic stitches like chain, slip stitch and double crochet are enough. The shape comes from simple increases, not complex patterns.
How much yarn does a poncho need?
This project uses about seven skeins of chunky wool. Buy an extra skein if you want a longer poncho.
Can I make it without a pattern?
Yes. Work in rounds and add increases at the corners until it fits your shoulders.
