Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in four contrasting colors (suggested colors: deep teal, mustard yellow, burnt orange, and soft cream)
• Crochet Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 blocks = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with Color A: Create a magic ring and work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to form a circle.
2. Row 1: Chain (ch) 6, double crochet (dc) in the 4th ch from the hook and in the next 2 chs (this forms your first block). Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Ch 6, dc in the 4th ch from the hook and in the next 2 chs. Now, slip stitch into the ch-3 space of the previous row's block, then ch 3 and make 3 dc in the same ch-3 space. Turn your work.
4. Continue Increasing: Keep adding blocks at the beginning of each row until you have a total of 20 blocks across. Each new row will start with a ch 6 and a dc in the same manner as before.
5. Switch to Color B: Continue the corner-to-corner (C2C) pattern, maintaining the block count of 20 blocks across. Follow the same steps as before.
6. Repeat with Color C and Color D: Ensure each color section has 20 blocks across, following the same pattern as with Color A and Color B.
7. Begin Decreasing: Once all color sections are complete, start decreasing by slip stitching across the first 3 dc, then slip stitch into the ch-3 space, ch 3, and make 3 dc in the same space. Continue this pattern until only one block remains.
8. Fasten Off: After reaching the last block, fasten off your yarn and cut it, leaving a long tail for seaming.
9. Seam the Sides: Fold the piece in half and seam the sides together, leaving an opening for your head to fit through.
10. Add Fringe: For a vibrant finish, add fringe along the bottom edge using all four colors. Cut strands of yarn about 12 inches long, fold them in half, and use a crochet hook to pull them through the edge of the poncho. Repeat until the bottom edge is adorned with colorful fringe.

Now you have your very own Block Rocking Corner to Corner Poncho! Enjoy wearing your handmade creation and the compliments that come with it!
