Friends, how are you? Here heavy summer is outside the home and the only way to entertain ourselve is to crochet or knit. Thanks God that I have no problem in working with woolen in such atmosphere. So I made the poncho for my grand daughter and here I made cap matching to that poncho.
You can make it in any size, just measure the circumference of head and with chs whose length equals to the circumference make a ring and start. If the chains are inmultiple of 4 then it's good other wise make it and work for pattern.
I used Ganga Glowing Star 4 ply yarn for this and 3.5 mm hook.
It's height 8” width 9.5” weight 69 gm
Pattern: Make chs till the length is 19”, I made 90 chs. Join with
first ch by sl st without twist.
R1: dc 1 in each st, cl. (90). Note first dc means always
ch3. Join with first ch by sl st to make a ring.
R2: dc 1 in each ch, cl. Measure double length, it's 10".
R3: ch2 (not considered as first dc), (fpdc 1, bpdc 1 in next st) rep till end, cl.
R4: ch2, (fpdc on fpdc and bpdc on bpdc) all around, cl.
(90)
R5: and R6: same as R3.
Border complete.
R1: Make V in one stitch (V means (dc 1, ch2, dc 1) in same
st), [skip 3 sts, V in next] rep till end, cl.
For this we need multiple of 4 sts but we have 90 so for
last two Vs we can skip only 2-2 sts. Thus 23 Vs are made.
Make Sl st 3 and get the working loop in ch2-sp of V.
R2: [fpdc on one side of V, (dc2,ch2,dc2) call shell in
ch2-sp of V, fpdc on second part of V] rep till end, cl.
R3: sl st 3 till ch2-sp of shell. Make V in ch2-sp of
each shell, cl.
R4: same as R2.
Repeat R3 and R4 till the height is 8” ending on R3.
Next Round: ch2, hdc 1 in each ch2-space of each shell. (23
hdcs).
Last round: ch1, sc 1 in each st, cl. BO with 1 ft yarn end.
Sew by tapestry needle to close the round at the top.
Make a pom pom and sew at the top.
Border: If you want make the border of sc 1 in each st. The beautiful cap as in picture 1 is ready. Hope that my grand daughter will love it.

Here is my new creation which I enjoyed a lot, it's Poncho for my smaller grand daughter Kanika. I made some sweaters for her but I never made Poncho. For my elder grand daughter I have knitted one poncho which I have shown in my post below,
But this time when I saw this crochet pattern on Cardigan, https://youtu.be/pUDNZbFWiu8
I liked it very much and I decided to make this pattern on Poncho and here is the result.
I used 4 ply yarn for this and I need 215 gm for this. It's height is 15".
If you want to make Poncho of different size then here is the chart. For bigger size, you may use single colour.
