ROW 1: ch 181, sc in 2nd ch from hook, *sk 4 ch, 9 tr in next ch, sk 4 ch, 1 sc in next ch. Repeat from * to end. Turn.

HINT: skip 4 stitches, place a marker in the next stitch, across the chain to keep from losing stitches. 

ROW 2: ch 4, 1 tr in first sc, *ch 3, sk 4 tr, 1 sc in next tr, ch 3, sk 4 tr, 2 tr in next sc. Repeat from * across, end with 2 tr in last sc. Turn.

ROW 3: ch 1, sc BETWEEN the first 2 tr, *sk ch-3, 9 tr in next sc, sk ch-3, 1 sc BETWEEN the next 2 tr. Repeat from * across, end with 1 sc BETWEEN last tr and turning ch. Turn.

Repeat row 2 and 3 to desired width. End with Row 2.

Fasten off, weave in ends.

TRIM
With right side facing, attach contrasting color in top of beginning chain of last row completed. (this is the top edge)

ROW 1:
TOP EDGE: ch 1, 3 sc in same st as join, sc in next tr, *3 sc in next ch-3 space, 1 sc in next sc, (1 sc in next tr) twice. Repeat from * across top edge, end with 3 sc in last tr of top edge.

SIDE EDGE 1: *3 sc in side of next tr, 1 sc in side of next sc. Repeat from * across side edge, end with 3 sc in the corner.

BOTTOM EDGE: *3 sc in next ch-3 space, 1 sc in the bottom of the next tr cluster, 3 sc in next ch-3 sp, 1 sc in next sc, repeat from * across bottom edge, end with 3 sc in the corner.

SPECIALTY STITCHES INSTRUCTIONS

Crossed Bar Stitch - yo, insert hook in st or sp indicated, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yo insert hook in next st or sp indicated, pull up a loop (5 loops on hook), yo draw thru all 5 loops on hook - crossed bar stitch made.

Increase Cluster – yo, insert hook in st or sp indicated, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook) yo, insert hook in same st, pull up a loop (5 loops on hook) yo, draw thru all 5 loops on hook - cluster made. 

Beginning shell – ch 3, dc in same st, ch 1, 2 dc in same st

Shell – 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc in same st.

INSTRUCTIONS:

ROUND 1: ch 70,  join with a sl st to first ch  to form a circle. Be careful not to twist chain. Ch 1, sc in same st as join, ch 1, *sk 1 st, sc in next st, ch 1. Repeat from * around. Join with slip st in first sc. (35 sc and 35 ch-1 sps)

ROUND 2: sl st into next ch-1 sp,
   ch 2, yo, pull up a loop in same ch-1 sp, 
   sk next st, yo, pull up a loop in next ch-1 sp, 
   yo, draw thru 5 loops on hook, 
   *ch 1, yo, pull up a loop in same sp as last st,
   sk next st, 
   yo, pull up a loop in next sp, 
   yo, draw thru all 5 loops on hook* 
   Repeat from * to * around.
   end with yo, pull up a loop in same sp as last st,
   yo, pull up a loop in same space as FIRST ST of round, 
   (ignore beginning ch 2), 
   yo, draw thru 5 loops on hook.
   ch 1, join in first ch 1 sp. (35 cbs)

Tip: Start  the first cbs of every round in the same st as the join. The next
cbs always starts in the same stitch (or space) where the previous cbs
ended.The final cbs of the round ends in the same stitch as the first cbs of
the round.

ROW 3 (increase row): ch 2, yo, pull up a loop in first ch-1 sp, 
   yo, pull up a loop in next ch-1 sp,
   yo, draw thru all 5 loops on hook (crossed bar stitch made)
   ch 1, (yo pull up a loop in same sp as last st) twice
   yo, draw thru 5 loops on hook (increase cluster made)
   ch 1, pull up a loop in same sp as increase cluster
   yo, pull up a loop in next ch-1 sp
   yo, pull thru 5 loops on hook (crossed bar st made).
   *ch 1, increase cluster, ch 1, crossed bar st* 
   repeat from * to * around 
   end with yo, pull up a loop in same sp as last st,
   yo, pull up a loop in same space as FIRST ST of round, 

TIP: When you come to the beginning chain 2, place your hook between
the chain 2 and the first cbs stitch, then complete the stitch. This will hide
the chain 2.

   ch 1, join in first ch-1 sp. (count cbs and inc clusters – 68 )

ROW 4 (even row): ch 2, crossed bar st, ch 1, in each sp around, 
   end with yo, pull up a loop in same sp as last st, 
   yo, pull up a loop in same space as FIRST ST of round, 
   yo, draw thru 5 loops on hook,
   ch 1, join in first ch-1 sp (68 cbs)

ROUND 5: ch 1, sc in ea cbs and ea sp around. Join in first sc.(135 scs)

ROUND 6: ch 3, dc in same st as join, ch 1, 2 dc in same st (beg shell made). ch 5, *sk 4, shell in next st, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join in 3rd ch of beg ch. (27 shells)

ROUND 7: sl st in next dc, sl st in ch-1 sp of shell, beg shell in same ch-1 sp, ch 5, *shell in next shell, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join in top of beg ch. (27 shells)

ROUND 11: Same as round 8

ROUND 12 thru 23: repeat rounds 9, 10, and 11.

Tip: for a shorter poncho, do fewer rows, for a longer poncho, continue
repeating rounds 9, 10 and 11, end with round 11.

ROUND 24: ch 1, sc in same st as join, 1 sc in ea dc, 2 sc over ea ch-2 sp, 1 sc in ea sc, (sc, ch 2, sc) in center of ea shell around. Join in first sc.

FASTEN OFF, WEAVE IN ENDS.
