The elegant Deep Ocean Poncho is crafted using Tunisian crochet cable stitches, creating a mesmerizing wave-like design that mirrors the rhythmic movement of the sea. The intricate cables flow seamlessly, capturing the depth and fluidity of ocean waves wrapping around the body.

This pattern is perfect for crocheters looking to challenge their skills because it involves using Tunisian crochet tools, such as an extended crochet hook and a cable hook to make a textured fabric using a combination of right-to-left forward and left to right return passes. Experience making the Tunisian Knit Stitch and Return Pass is recommended.

The neck border is made using a standard or regular crochet hook, so knowledge of basic crochet stitches such as Single Crochet and Single Crochet Back Loop Only, as well as decreasing stitches such as Single Crochet Back Loop Only 2 Together is recommended.

One size fits a US medium adult woman, oversized fit. When laying flat, the assembled poncho measures approximately 33 inches from the top of the shoulder to the bottom and 33 inches across. Poncho can be made smaller or larger.
