This circular poncho is so much fun! The simple and fairly quick to make up. Very roomy but still has a wonderful drape. This length is about 23 in. You can see how it fits on a small to medium mannequin or on one of my testers! If you think you want it longer, make sure you have extra yarn before you begin. I do crochet loose and have tall stitches so I would assume if you know you are a tighter crocheter that you will need extra yarn and add extra rows to the end.

You could use this as a cover-up in the summer or a poncho in the fall and winter. Enjoy!

Stitches you need to know

Foundation half double crochet FHDC
HDC, half double crochet
Crochet in back and third loop (insert your hook into back loop, tilt your work toward you and you will see a smaller half bar/loop underneath. Insert your hook into that stitch as well. This gives your stitch a little bit more stability than using back loop only.)
