    TUNISIAN CROCHET PONCHO

    BY
    PAOLA PA
    INTRO:

    This is a simple and pretty poncho, thanks to the stitch that


    enhances it, arrowhead stitch.
    Tunisian arrowhead stitch is very easy to make, and it creates a
    fabric that is nice and soft.
    To make the poncho, you have to create a rectangle of 86 x 120
    cm; you then fold it in half on the long side, obtaining a 86 x 60 cm
    rectangle.
    On 60 cm sides you measure 18 cm starting from the closed part,
    and this is the sleeves’ size; you then sew the remaining 42 cm on
    both sides.
    When working on the main rectangle, on 60 cm from the start you
    make the neckline. You close some stitches in the forward row, and
    then make as many chains in return row.
    Finally, you refine the lower edge and the sleeves in regular
    crochet with 5 rows of back and front post double crochet in the
    round; for the neckline, you make a simple double crochet row in
    the round.

    TERMS:

    CH = chain/chains
    ES = edge stitch
    LP = loop/loops
    RR = regular return
    ST = stitch/stitches
    TFS = Tunisian full stitch
    TSS = Tunisian simple stitch
    YO = yarn over

    STITCHES:

    BACK AND FRONT DOUBLE CROCHET STITCHES:


    here’s a video that shows you how to make both stitches: https://youtu.be/IwWCix1YdNs.

    EDGE STITCH:
    it’s the last stitch of the row, and it’s always worked in knit stitch (you can see how to do it in the following
    video, from minute 1:50 on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCA7huAGYE4).

    ARROWHEAD STITCH:

    1st FORWARD ROW – 1 LP on hook, *1 TSS working next 2 vertical bars together, 1 YO* (don’t forget YOs,
    or you’ll have less ST); repeat from * to * for the whole row, till you have only 3 ST left. 1 TSS working next
    2 vertical bars together, 1 YO, 1 ES.
    1st RETURN ROW – RR.

    2nd FORWARD ROW – 1 LP on hook, *TSS, 1 TFS*, repeat from * to * till last ST, 1 ES.
    2nd RETURN ROW – RR.

    TUNISIAN FULL STITCH:

    FORWARD ROW – 1 LP on hook, *insert hook in YO space, YO, make 1 ST*. Repeat from * to * for the whole
    row, 1 ES.
    RETURN ROW – RR.

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    Cast on an even number of CH to make a 86 cm long CH (the number of CH depends on the yarn you use);
    make a first row of TSS, then go on with arrowhead ST till the fabric is 60 cm long (ending with 2nd return
    row).
    Now you make the neckline: work 28 cm in TSS, then close ST for 30 cm (the number of closed ST depends
    on the yarn, anyway keep count of the closed ST); when you get to 30 cm, start working in TSS again till the
    end of the row. Return regularly till the first closed ST you encounter; make as many CH as closed ST in row
    below, then go on returning normally.
    Continue in arrowhead ST for 60 cm. When you get to 60 cm (ending with 2nd return row) cast off.
    Fold the fabric in half, making sure the edges match; on a short side, measure 18 cm from folded long side
    (sleeves’ measure), and join the edges sewing the remaining 42 cm. Repeat on other short side. This way
    you get the arms’ holes.

    With regular crochet, make borders on sleeves and lower edge. Working in the round on sleeves’ holes and
    lower edge, make 1 row of double crochet and 4 rows of back and front post double crochet (alternated).
    For the neckline, make 1 row of double crochet in the round.

    Now the poncho’s finished.

    A special thank you to Olden Patterns Designs for revising and translating the pattern.
