Poncho Mexicana Marina was designed as a warm, yet, airy cover up which will keep you warm in cool days. It is intended as an addidtion to your sweater, turtle neck jumper, shirt, top, or any other piece of clothing which may not give you enough warmth in the spring and autumn seasons.

Its simple construction is easily put together into a colorful patchwork assembly. Its drawstring with two tassels beatifully frames the neckline, thus giving you the feeling of style, while the front and back square pieces cozy you up, covering your entire upper body including your arms up to your elbows, for extra warmth and cosines.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL, SKILLS, TECHNIQUES
Making this poncho requires lower-intermediate crocheting skills and being familiar with round crochet. I would certainly encourage experienced beginners to give this project a try and improve their crocheting skills. Stitches used in this pattern are chain, single crochet, double crochet and treble crochet.

FINISHED SQUARE MOTIF
Each square motif consists of 12 rounds, where the first 8 rounds form a circle, which then transitions into a square from round 9.

The pattern is written in US terminology. The repeats are given in parentheses and the number of repeats right after them. The Diagram you can see on page 6 is for one square motif, worked in the rounds. One square motif has 12 rounds, and for the entire
