Fall is my favorite season. I love the blue skies, cool evenings and changing colors of the leaves. This Textured Fall Poncho is perfect for changing weather. Wear it to that Friday night football game or the Saturday afternoon soccer game.

I used about 2 ½ Caron Cakes in Plum Crisp to make this one-size poncho but change to any worsted weight yarn as you desire. If you need it larger, just keep going until it's long enough for you. I'm somewhere around a medium or large.

This is a favorite poncho pattern, I make the neck smaller if needed by adding ribbing. I learned adding ribbing to project from Yarn and Chai channel a couple of years ago and now use it on my top-down hats and wrist warmers, etc. You will need to use at least one size smaller hook, sc all around making sure that the count is an even number. Chain how ever "tall" you want your ribbing to be, sc in each chain back to neck line, slip stitch in next 2 sc on neck, ch1, turn, and working in back loops only sc in each st back up the row. *Chain 1, and in blo work sc back down to neck line, slip stitch in next 2 sc on neck,ch1, turn, and work sc in blo back up the row* Repeat from * to * around the piece. I join with slip stitch in blo and then put yarn on needle to pull last bit together at the bottom and fasten off and weave in my ends. This join looks like another rib to me.
