Step-by-Step Instructions for Creating the Blue Breeze Poncho

Step 1: Create the Foundation Chain

1. Determine the Size:
   • Decide on the size of your poncho. A common size for an adult poncho is approximately 50-60 inches wide.
2. Foundation Chain:
   • Start with a slip knot and chain a length that is approximately half of the desired width of your poncho. For example, chain 80 stitches for a medium-sized poncho.

   Example:
   Ch 80.
   

Step 2: First Row

1. Starting the Poncho:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, work a double crochet (dc). Continue working dc in each chain across the row.

   Example:
   Row 1: Dc in the 4th ch from the hook, dc in each ch across. (78 dc)
   

Step 3: Creating the Body of the Poncho

1. Subsequent Rows:
   • For the next row, chain 3 (counts as first dc), turn your work, and dc in each stitch across. Repeat this step until you reach the desired length for the body of the poncho.

   Example:
   Row 2: Ch 3, turn, dc in each st across.
   

Step 4: Adding Decorative Stitches

1. Incorporating Shell Stitches:
   • For a beautiful texture, alternate between double crochet rows and rows of shell stitches. For a shell stitch, work 5 dc into the same stitch.

   Example:
   Row 3: *Skip 2 sts, in the next st work 5 dc; repeat from * across.
   

2. Repeat:
   • Continue alternating between double crochet rows and shell stitch rows until your poncho reaches the desired length.

Step 5: Creating the Neck Opening

1. Forming the Neckline:
   • To create a neck opening, you can either chain a certain number of stitches in the center of your poncho or work back and forth in rows to form a rectangular neckline.

   Example:
   Skip the center 20 stitches and work dc in the remaining stitches for the neckline.
   

Step 6: Finishing the Edges

1. Edging:
   • Work a simple row of single crochet (sc) or a decorative edge along the bottom of the poncho for a polished finish.

   Example:
   Row 1: Sc around the entire edge of the poncho.
   

2. Fastening Off:
   • Cut the yarn and pull it through the last stitch to secure. Weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
