Crochet another 3 squares in the same way as square 8 = 5 squares on second row.

Continue as row 2 with 1 less square per row until there is only 1 square on row.

Work 210-230-250-270 ch with crochet hook size 4 mm and 1 thread of each quality.
ROW 1(= RS): 1 dc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 dc in each of the next 4-5-6-7 ch, skip 1 ch, * 1 dc in each of the next 8 ch, skip 1 ch *, repeat from *-*, and finish with 1 dc in each of the last 5-6-7-8 ch = 186-204-222-240 dc.
ROW 2-5: 1 dc in each dc – turn each row with 1 ch.
ROW 6: * 5 ch, skip 2 dc, 1 dc in next dc *, repeat from *-* = 62-68-74-80 ch-loops.
ROW 7: 8 ch, 1 dc in first ch-loop, * 5 ch, 1 dc in next ch-loop *, repeat from *-*.
Repeat row 7 until piece measures approx 25-27-29-31 cm – adjust so that next row is from WS.

NEXT ROW: 1 ch, and 3 dc in each ch-loop across the row = 186-204-222-240 dc.
THE NEXT 2 ROWS: 1 dc in each dc.
Now insert 11-12-13-14 markers in piece (from RS) as follows: First marker after 8-8-9-9 dc, and then 17 dc between each marker = 8-9-9-10 dc left after the last marker.
On next row dec 1 st to the left of all markers (dec 1 st by skipping 1 dc after marker) = a total of 11-12-13-14 dec sts on row. Work 1 row from WS with 1 dc in each dc. On next row dec 1 st to the right of all markers (by skipping 1 dc before marker). Repeat the dec on every row from RS a total of 9 times, to the left and to the right of markers alternately. When all dec are complete there are 87-96-105-114 dc left on row. Work 2 rows with 1 dc in each dc, cut and fasten the thread.

LEFT FRONT BAND: Work approx 55 to 67 dc along front piece – approx 3 dc in each ch-loop and 2 dc per 3 rows with dc. Make sure the edge doesn’t become too tight nor too loose! Now work 4 rows with 1 dc in each dc.

RIGHT FRONT BAND: Like left front band, but after 2 rows crochet 2 buttonholes. 1 buttonhole = 3 ch, skip 3 dc, on next row work 3 dc in ch-loop. Place the top buttonhole approx 2 cm from the top and the next 6 cm below the first one. Sew on buttons.

Shawl: Knitted back and forth on circular needle from bottom up. See Knitting tip! Cast on 3 sts on needle size 6 mm with 1 thread of each quality and work garter st, at the same time inc 1 st each side on every other row by working 2 sts in the 2nd st from edge.

Crochet border: Crochet a border round the whole shawl with crochet hook size 6 mm and 1 thread of each quality as follows:
Round 1: 1 dc in corner of shawl, *1 ch, skip approx 0.5 cm, 1 dc*, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 ch and 1 sl st in dc from beg of round.
Round 2: 6 ch, skip 1 ch and 1 dc, 1 dc in next ch, *6 ch, skip approx 2 cm, 1 dc in next ch*, repeat from *-* and finish with 6 ch and 1 sl st in dc from beg of round.
Round 3: Crochet sl sts to the middle of the first ch-loop.*6 ch, turn. Crochet 1 tr, 3 ch, 1 tr, 3 ch, 1 tr and 1 ch in ch-loop from Round 2, turn. Crochet as follows in each of the 3 ch-loops: 1 dc, 1 htr, 1 tr, 1 dtr, 1 tr, 1 htr, 1 dc. Now crochet 1 dc in the next ch-loop from Round 2, 6 ch, 1 dc in next ch-loop from Round 2*, repeat from *-* and finish with 6 ch and 1 sl st at the top of the first ch-loop from Round 2.

Crochet Gauge: 12 tr x 7 rows with 1 thread of Alpaca and 1 thread of Cotton Viscose = 10 x 10 cm.
12 dtr x 5 rows = 10 x 10 cm. 1 report in pattern = width approx 12 cm.

Crochet info: At the beginning of each row substitute 1 dc with a ch, 1 tr with 3 ch and 1 dtr with 4 ch.
Pattern: See diagram 1 – diagram 2 shows the repeat in the width.

PONCHO
Crochet the piece from the top and down.
Crochet loosely 70-76-84 ch on hook size 5 with 1 thread of Alpaca and 1 thread of Cotton Viscose. Crochet 1st row as follows: 1 tr in the 4th ch from the hook, 1 tr in each remaining 66-72-80 ch = 68-74-82 tr. Turn the piece. Read crochet info! Continue to crochet tr’s forward and backward at the same time inc as follows (to inc 1 tr crochet 2 tr’s in 1 tr):

Size S/M: Inc 1 tr in every other tr but finish with only 1 tr in the last tr = 101 tr. Crochet 1 row without inc. On the next row inc 1 tr in every 3rd tr = 134 tr. Crochet 2 rows without any inc. On the next row inc. 47 tr evenly distributed on row = 181tr

Size M/L: Inc 1 tr in every other tr but finish with only 1 tr in the last tr = 110 tr. Crochet 1 row without inc. On the next row inc 1 tr in every 3rd tr = 146 tr. Crochet 1 row without any inc. On the next row inc. 1 tr in every 4th tr = 182 tr. Crochet 1 row without any inc, and on the next row inc. 35 tr evenly distributed on row = 217 tr.

Size XL/XXL: Inc 1 tr in every other tr but finish with only 1 tr in the last tr = 122 tr. Crochet 1 row without inc. On the next row inc 1 tr in every 3rd tr = 162 tr. Crochet 1 row without any inc. On the next row inc. 1 tr in every 4th tr = 202 tr. Crochet 2 rows without any inc, and on the next row inc. 51 tr evenly distributed on row = 253 tr.

When all inc. are complete the piece measures 10-11-13 cm. Now crochet pattern – see diagram 1. Crochet 2 repeats, but start the second repeat in the row marked with arrows. Now crochet 2-3-4 rows of dtr as follows: NB: If you want to adjust the length of the poncho either add or subtract a row of dtr’s.

1st row: Remember crochet info: Crochet 1 dtr around each ch-loop with a ch in between = 90-109-127 dtr, turn the piece.
2nd row: Crochet 1 dtr into each dtr but instead of 1 ch in between crochet 2 ch’s – Size S/M finish here before the last pattern repeat = 91 dtr’s.
3rd row: Crochet a dtr in each dtr but now crochet 3 ch’s in between each dtr instead of 2 ch – size M/L finish here before the last pattern repeat = 109 dtr’s.
4th row: Crochet 1 dtr into each dtr with 3 ch’s in between each dtr. Size XL/XXL finish here before the last pattern repeat = 127 dtr’s.

After the last row of dtr crochet Diagram 1 again from the beginning, but finish the pattern after the 7th row in diagram – NB: Crochet 1st row in diagram as follows so the pattern fits: 3 ch (=1 tr), 1 ch, *1 tr around the ch-loop, 1 ch, 1 tr around the next ch-loop*, repeat from *-* to the end of the row = 180-216-252 ch-loops.

Buttons: Crochet a “cover” for the 3 buttons with Cotton Viscose as follows: Crochet 2 ch, continue to crochet 16 tr in the 1st of the 2 ch crochet, finish off with a sl st in the top of the 1st tr (= 1st round 1).
2nd round: Crochet 1 dc into each tr and finish off with a sl st in the 1st dc from beginning of round.
3rd round: Crochet 1 tr into every other dc and finish off with a sl st in the 1st tr from beginning of the round = 8 tr.
Put the buttons into the cover, sew around the edge and pull together. Sew the buttons on the right side of the poncho. The top button should be approx 1 cm from the edge and leave 4-6 cm in between the others.

Button loop: Crochet loops for the buttons on left side as follows: 1 dc in the corner of the neck, 1 dc into the same st, *4 ch, skip 3-3.5-4 cm, 1 dc in the next st*, repeat a total of 3 times - a total of 3 loops matching the location of the buttons.
