Are you starting out in crochet poncho? Then look no further.  This poncho is made up with two large rectangles while used only the double crochet stitch and the bobble stitch.  Therefore, it is easy enough for beginners. Basically, this is a two row and repeat.

Tell you what, this is my first poncho. But I am excited to share with you of my creation. The colours remind me of the fall colours in Canada, so I called this the Pretty Fall Bobble Poncho. It is prefect to wear a one-layer and have it over it in the fall season.

Since it is made up of two large rectangles so it’ll be a great weekend project. And you can easily to adjust it into any size by increase or decrease the number of the foundation chain.

***Please feel free to add more or make less rows.

Once there are two panels, line them up side by side.
Flip both of panels so that the right side (pattern) is facing down. And move the first panel to the bottom of the other one. Stitch at where the line is.
Once the pervious step is done, then fold the bottom panel into 1/3 as what it shown in the photo.
