Nevermind. I misunderstood. At the end the numbers are not stiches but rows one needs to make according to their size. Sorry!

Why after completing row 3 with 66 stiches the pattern says to continue until row 67 but it gives different number of stiches? I would expect 66. Am I wrong?

Thank you so much! I ended up using a size 7 hook, but it turned out the right size. It looks amazing! I will make another for my aunt. Such a lovely poncho!

Hi Connie, sorry to hear you’re having trouble. I always stitch in the very first stitch of the row right next to the turning chain (many crocheters skip this stitch and work into the turning chain at the end of the row instead) as a way of keeping straight edges. I think that may be where we stitch differently and why you’re finding accidental decreases. If that’s the way you crochet, you’d need to go ahead and stitch into that turning chain from the row below at the end of your row, otherwise you’d need to begin your rows as I do in the very first stitch. Hope this helps!

Do you think this poncho would make up well using Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca yarn?

After trying to get started with the written directions and feeling it was not working out (because of not using the turning chain) , I watched your video and followed exactly what you showed and said until you said put on your 69 or however many rows and we’ll talk again. Every single row I noticed the “thing” getting narrower, but I’m not supposed to use the chains at the end, so I did not. Now I have finished row 14 and have only 58 stitches instead of 70. I noticed it looking like a trapezoid, so, though I was still following what you showed in the video I continued. I have been a crocheter for many years…I usually do not make clothing, but have made a few sweaters, scarves and hats successfully. What do you suppose went wrong? After every row I checked to make certain I did not miss a stitch and that I did the chain one between dc on the “lace” row. It has something to do with not using the turning chains…of that I’m convinced. If you have any thoughts to share, I’d appreciate it. Having purchased the yarn I am now on the search for another pattern.

[…] videos on YouTube with tutorials as well as blog posts on the different crochet stitches. This poncho is typical of Sewrella’s designs, and there are a LOT more where that came […]

Pretty poncho, but since I had clicked the link for a foot pillow it is the strangest peacock tail mandala pillow I have ever seen.
