Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 1 single crochet into each chain stitch across.

Repeat step 3 until you have a total of 17 rows.

Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.

Neckline:

Join yarn to the top of the poncho with a slip stitch.

Chain 1 and work 1 single crochet into each stitch around the neckline. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet.

Chain 1 and turn. Work 1 single crochet into each stitch around the neckline. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet.

Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.

Tassels (optional):

Cut 10 pieces of yarn, each about 10 inches long.

Fold each piece of yarn in half and use a crochet hook to pull the loop through the bottom edge of the poncho.

Pull the ends of the yarn through the loop and tighten to secure.

Trim the ends of the yarn to create tassels.

This is a basic pattern, so you can customize it by using different colors or yarn types, adding edging or embellishments, or adjusting the size to fit your needs. Always remember to check your gauge and adjust your hook size accordingly to ensure that your finished project fits properly.
