The Yarn
I’ve had a crochet poncho in mind for this Red Heart with Love yarn forever. Sometimes there’s just not enough time in the day to make all the things (but we try)!
Teal and all varieties of blue are a fav of mine. I’m drawn in to this texture and color combination here.
Color is one of my favorite things about Red Heart Yarns. You can be sure to find any color imaginable available, that’s so helpful when you have something specific in mind!
I like how you can easily customize these rectangles for a shorter or an even longer length over your arms.
Here I have positioned the poncho so it sits back further, making the back length a little longer than the front. This is just related to how you where the neckline, so it’s easy to even up.

Adjustments
To adjust the length of your rectangle, start with a stitch multiple of 3, plus 2. You can add/subtract 3 to my starting change. This will make your poncho longer/shorter on your arms and from neck to hem.
To change the height of your rectangle, adjust the number of rows you repeat. I recommend stopping after a Row 7 repeat. This will make neck hole bigger/smaller and effect the overall size.
Level

If you would like to adjust the size of your rectangles, do so here. You can add or subtract rows to your liking. This measurement is from neckline down the arm, to the wrist. Once the rectangles are seamed this is where the width of the rectangle will lie on your body.
Seaming 
Lay both rectangles out in front of you. Make sure they’re both going in the same direction-that one isn’t upside down. Place one vertical and one horizontal, so they form an L shape.
On the WS, sew together where they meet. This will be the edge of one, and part of the last row on the other.
Match up the top edge (1) to the top of the row of the horizontal rectangle (2).
On the WS, sew together.
Finishing
You may consider going down a hook size here for a tighter neckline.
Join yarn with sl st anywhere on neckline. Ch 1, sc evenly around, join with a sl st to first sc. Ch 3, dc in each sc around, join with sl st to first st. Ch 1, sc in each st around, join with sl st to first st.
Cut. yarn.
