Crochet Sweetheart Small Poncho

Are you a poncho lover? I personally love ponchos, they are an extremely versatile clothing item, for they can be worn in almost any season and for all kinds of occasions. You can wear ponchos in summers if you want to wear something cool, and in winters, these are a warm and comfortable alternative to other clothing items. Making crochet ponchos helps you to create the designs and styles. 

Try this wonderful sweetheart design for small poncho to make a great piece for yourself or for your friends & family!

This design has open and airy stitches creating small sweethearts on the poncho. This makes the poncho light and easy to wear.

This poncho is perfect for this transition period between summer and fall time and also wearing for special events, for romantic dinners and so. 

This Poncho is absolutely fabulous and outstanding and will complete your outfits.

PATTERN NOTES

1) Before you start take a measurement of height of your body and a body measurement (please see the final measurement of the small poncho below).
2) This pattern is for M women size, but you can easily adapt to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the number of rows. Remember that when making your poncho bigger you will need more yarn.
3) A ch3 at beg of the round DOESN'T count as a stitch (only when in the R1). 
4) The project is made up of 2 panels joined together. The front panel is a bit bigger than the back panel to fit perfectly and make a nice neckline as well.

FINISHING

With your yarn and tapestry needle you will now join the panels together, making sure they are right sides together. Work on wrong sides.

Remember not to make your stitches too tight and not too loose. 
Start in the corner.
Seam shoulders - seam the last rows together, sew 36 st together (6 rectangles) on the right side and also 36 stitches together on the left side.
Now that your poncho is assembled you will hide all loose tails in the wrong side of your work and turn it right side facing you.

2 rows high: 2.5 cm / 1 inch
10 rows high: 12 cm / 5 inch
1 panel (7dc group) width: 3 cm / 1.18 inch
10 panels (10 groups) width: 29 cm / 11 inch

Poncho is 25.5 inch / 60 cm long
