1. With 4 mm hook, ch 96 (for sizes XS–M; add 8 ch for each larger size, i.e. 104 for L, etc.; see note).
   • Sample chain measures ~30 inches; adjust as needed for your fit/neck opening.
2. Carefully straighten chain, join with sl st to first ch to form a ring (neck opening).

2. Set-Up: Neckline

Round 1:

• Ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in each ch around.
• Join with sl st to top of beg ch-3.
• (96 dc)

3. Increase Yoke

Round 2:

• Ch 3, dc in next 7 sts, 2 dc in next st (increase).
• [Dc in next 7 sts, 2 dc in next st]; rep around.
• Join with sl st to top of beg ch-3.
• (108 dc; 12 increases made)

Round 3:

• Ch 3, dc in next 8 sts, 2 dc in next st.
• [Dc in next 8 sts, 2 dc in next st]; rep around.
• Join with sl st to top of beg ch-3.

Round 4:

• Ch 3, dc in next 9 sts, 2 dc in next st.

4. Begin Poncho Body (Switch to 6 mm Hook)

Round 5 – Start the Cluster Pattern:

• Attach larger hook.
• Ch 1, sc in same st, ch 2, (cluster in next st, ch 2, sc in next st); rep around.
  • Cluster: (Yarn over, insert in st, pull up lp, yarn over, pull through 2 lps) twice in same st, yarn over, pull through all 3 lps on hook.
• End: After last ch 2, sl st to first cluster to join.

Round 6: (Begins with 3 sl sts to move to top of next cluster)

• Sl st in next 3 sts to top of cluster.
• (Sc in cluster, ch 5); rep around.
• Join with sl st to first sc.

Round 7:

• Ch 2, cluster in same st, ch 2, sc in next ch-5 space; ch 2, cluster in next sc; continue alternating: chain two between, clusters atop sc from previous round, sc in ch-5 sps.
• Rep: (ch 2, cluster in next sc, ch 2, sc in ch-5 space) around; join with sl st to top of last cluster.

Rounds 8 to desired length:
Repeat Rounds 6 & 7 in alternating sequence (chain-5 round, then cluster round), ending with a chain-5 round at border.

• The sample features 11 cluster rounds. Adjust as desired for your length.
  Save

5. Edging & Leaves (Switch to Green Yarn)

Final Chain Band:

• After ending with a chain-5 round, join green yarn with sl st to any sc.
• Ch 1, sc in same space; (ch 5, sc in next ch-5 space); rep around.
• Join with sl st to first sc.

Leaf Base:

• Sl st in next ch-5 space, ch 3, dc in same space, (ch 1, dc in same space) 3 times (five chain-1 sps total), ch 3, sl st in same sp. (This forms a “flower holding space.”)
• Sl st in next sp, ch 7, sl st in 4th ch from hook, ch 3, sl st in same sp. (This forms a “leaf.”)
• Alternate this process (one flower base, one leaf) in each ch-5 sp around.
• End, fasten off green.
  Save

6. Flowers (Work in Contrasting Color)

(Work one flower in each flower base “arch” along the border)

• Join flower yarn in first of five chain-1 spaces of any flower base.
• (Ch 1, sc in same sp, ch 2, 3 tr in same sp, ch 2, sc in same sp) = 1 petal.
• Rep in remaining four spaces (5 petals per flower).
• Sl st to first sc to join.
• Fasten off.
• Repeat for each flower base along poncho edge.
  Save

Pattern Correction

• Ensure all chains are counted correctly, corners not twisted at join.
• The cluster is worked over two partial double crochets; always pull through all 3 loops.
• If you wish to size up/down, maintain foundation as a multiple of 8.
• Leaf: For clarity, sl st into the 4th (not 3rd) chain from hook when making the tip.

Tips

• Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds, clusters, or flowers.
• Adjust the number of “cluster”/“chain-5” repeats for a longer or shorter poncho.
• Block finished poncho and flowers for smoother shape.
• Make flowers in different colors for a fun bouquet effect.
