Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Desert Mirage Boho Poncho.

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your poncho. This will serve as the center of your first round.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, dc in the same stitch, then work 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 24 dc at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, dc in the same stitch, then *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 36 dc.
5. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing until you reach a total of 120 dc. The pattern is to chain 3, dc in the same stitch, then alternate between dc in the next stitch and 2 dc in the following stitch.
6. Change to Terracotta Yarn: Once you have 120 dc, switch to your terracotta yarn.
7. Next 10 Rounds: Work even in double crochet (dc) for the next 10 rounds. Do not increase; simply dc in each stitch around.
8. Change to Turquoise Yarn: After completing the 10 rounds in terracotta, switch to your turquoise yarn.
9. Next 5 Rounds: For these rounds, work the following pattern: *Chain 5, skip 2 stitches, single crochet (sc) in the next stitch; repeat from * around. This will create airy chain spaces that add texture to your poncho.
10. Change to Sand Yarn: After completing the 5 rounds in turquoise, switch back to your sand yarn.
11. Final Round: Chain 1, then sc in each stitch around. This will create a solid finish to your poncho. After completing this round, fasten off your yarn.
12. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends from your project. This will give your poncho a clean and polished look.
