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.

Anne says
Hi Mikey, I want to use larger yarn and a number 7 crochet hook but when I've had a go at it the neck opening is too large. Should I begin with a smaller amount in my chain?
Tina says
I keep missing stitches going from 102 to 110 in row 2. I can’t figure out where I’m missing the stitches. Is there a graphic diagram of this pattern?
Mikey, The Crochet Crowd says
No there isn't at this time. We will have to hand draw one in the future.
Tina M Muheim says
Mikey, any helpful hints on what I could be missing. I'm good with row 1 (96), row 2 (102) but missing in row 3. I can't figure out where I got lost.
Mikey, The Crochet Crowd says
I think Jeanne has addressed this concern.
