NOTES

1. Poncho is made from a rectangle worked in a ripple pattern.
2. The rectangle is folded, then 2 edges are crocheted together leaving an opening to make the neck.
3. A border is crocheted around the neck and the outside edges of the Poncho.
4. This project is worked in a ripple crochet pattern. The ripple pattern is easy to do, but it’s important to remember that you may need to work several rows before the ripple pattern becomes clear.
5. The ripple in this design is created by working (dc2tog) twice to form ‘valleys’ and working (2 dc in each of next 2 sts) to form ‘peaks’. In each row, take care to work (dc2tog) twice over each ‘valley’ and (2 dc in each of next 2 sts) in the 2 sts at center of each ‘peak.’
6. For those who find a visual helpful, we’ve included a stitch diagram.
