PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.5. On diagram A.1 work first round in the entire round, then repeat A.1 and A.3 4 times in total on round. Diagram A.2 shows how every round beg and ends. A.5 shows how squares are assembled.
CROCHET INFO:
Beg every round with dc with 3 ch and finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch.
STRIPES:
Work 0-4-4-4 rounds with light beige, then work * 2 rounds with off white, work 4 round with light beige *, repeat from *-* 3 times in total.
INCREASE:
On 1st round in A.4 (i.e. round with dc and ch) inc as follows: Work ch 1, around ch-space at the tip work as follows: 2 dc around ch-space, ch 3, 2 dc around same ch-space.
On 2nd round in A.4 (i.e. round with dc) inc as follows: Work 1 dc around ch, around ch-space at the tip work as follows: 2 dc around ch-space, ch 3, 2 dc around same ch-space.
----------------------------------------------------------
PONCHO:
The piece is worked from the neck down. First work squares as follows:
SQUARE:
Work 4 ch on hook size 4 mm / G/6 with light beige and form a ring with 1 sl st in first ch. Work A.1. Diagram A.2 shows how every round beg and ends. When first round of A.1 is worked, repeat A.1 4 times in total on round. When A.1 has been worked 1 time vertically, there are 16 ch-spaces and 4 corners.
Work A.3 over A.1, i.e. repeat A.3 4 times in total on round (see diagram for correct size). NOTE: First round in A.3 is not worked, it only shows how next round is worked around sts. Diagram A.2 shows how every round beg and ends. When A.3 has been worked 1 time vertically, there are 80-80-100-120 dc and 4 corners. Fasten off. Square measures approx. 15-15-17-19 x 15-15-17-19 cm / 6"-6"-6 3/4"-7½" x 6"-6"-6 3/4"-7½". REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! Work 8 squares.
ASSEMBLY:

FROM SQUARES AND DOWN:
ROUND 1: Beg in the side of square (see A.5), in the middle of the 1st square (i.e. 10-10-12-15 dc before corner). Work 3 ch – READ CROCHET INFO, work 1 dc in each of the first 10-10-12-15 dc, * over the 2 corners sewn tog work as follows: 1 dc in each of the next 2 dc, 2 dc around each of the next 2 corners, 1 dc in each of the next 2 dc *, then work 1 dc in every dc until next corner sewn tog (= over the next 20-20-25-30 dc), repeat from *-* over the next 2 corners sewn tog, 1 dc in each of the next 20-20-25-30 dc, over the next corner inc (see A.5) as follows: Work 1 dc around ch, around ch-space at the tip work as follows: 2 dc around ch-space, ch 3, 2 dc around same ch-space, 1 dc around next ch.

Sweet Martine Poncho pattern says that the pattern has been corrected... I can not find a version that does not contain that notation/link.... Is the pattern on the website the "corrected version" ? Thank you

Dear Mrs Lyons, yes the correction applies only if you printed the pattern before the corrections. Happy crocheting!
17.03.2023 kl. 08:54Jag har virkat i 45 år och aldrig stött på ett så obegripligt mönster. Varför krångla till det med diagram?

Bonjour Coco, à la fin du tour 1, crochetez la maille coulée en naturel pour un joli changement de couleur, puis crochetez 3 mailles en l'air pour commencer (cf INFO CROCHET) puis crochetez A.4 (= 1 maille en l'air, sautez 1 bride, 1 bride dans la bride suivante) répétez de (à) et crochetez de **à** au milieu devant/dos. Bon crochet!
08.06.2021 kl. 08:45Salve ho provato ad assistere il video del poncho bege ma non c'è volume,cosa devo fare per vedere il video integrale

Buonasera Valeria, i nostri video non hanno audio perchè vengono visti da persone di tutti i paesi. Sotto ogni video può trovare una spiegazione nella lingua che preferisce. Buon lavoro!
19.03.2021 kl. 23:10I find this pattern impossible to follow-love the poncho + would definitely make it if a written,understandable pattern was available
10.10.2020 - 18:15DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Wentx, The DROPS patterns are knitted and crocheted by thousands and thousands of people around the world. We understand however that in certain countries, with different knitting/crochet traditions than Scandinavia, our patterns might be written in a way that differs from what some are used to. But of course we want everyone to understand our patterns, so that’s why we have created an extensive library of tutorial videos as well as step by step lessons that explain how to follow the techniques we use and how to read the diagrams in our patterns. Give them a try!
12.10.2020 kl. 09:15Good afternoon, I would like to ask if there is any video where you can see the completion of the complete work. I'm not an expert and I have a hard time following the patterns. I would greatly appreciate your help because I am very interested in developing this project that you have called Pretty Boho Poncho. Sorry if the message is not entirely correct, my level of English is very basic. Cheers, Conchi Hernández
01.05.2020 - 18:17DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Hernández, you will find a video showing how to crochet a square to this poncho and this lesson shows how to read crochet diagrams. For any further individual assistance, you are welcome to contact your DROPS store, even per mail or telephone. Happy crocheting!
04.05.2020 kl. 11:01On the first round after the squares you state to increase on every corner but then from round 2, only increase on the front and back tips.ok. so what do I do on the 2 sides? Ive undone my work twice already because the sides curl and pucker without any increase. I have been crocheting for years but these instructions are confusing. I know how to do the increases..I just want specific instructions on how to go around the other two side points.
17.04.2020 - 01:04DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Ebbeck, follow the description of ROUND 1, you should incerase only in the squares with a round in A.5. After this round has been worked, simply work as shown in A.4 working the increase in the middle tip on front and on back piece. Happy crocheting!
17.04.2020 kl. 09:04Hello, What kind of crochet hook size should I use in USA size? I don't have 4mm. Also is there a whole video on how to make this? I am having trouble following the pattern. Thank you. Maria
18.02.2020 - 19:23DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Mroz, edit the language of the pattern clicking on the scroll down menu under picture and choose "English (US/in) to get the pattern in US-English including US-crochet terminology. you will find here how to read crochet diagrams and how to crochet a square here. Happy crocheting!
19.02.2020 kl. 09:03Disregard my question. I've discovered that I connected the squares incorrectly, have corrected so that there are only 2 points, not 4. Would be helpful to have it specified in the pattern how to do it correctly, instead of just 'sew squares together'.
