Pumpkin Pickin' Poncho for Barbie-Free Crochet Pattern

This Pumpkin Pickin' Poncho was the first thing that crossed my mind when I thought about making clothes for a Barbie Doll. Super simple, whips up in an hour or less, a girl can make it for herself and the crazy eyelash trim just makes it fun! (You might need to help with that though.) The bottom embellishment is optional, anything goes:@)

 

And since every girl should have options...
Here's one with black trim and a different hat:@)

Or maybe turn the poncho into a Jack-O-Lantern with yarn or buttons...
Full disclosure: this photo was edited to show you how the J-O-L idea could look.

Joann Fabric sells a fun button set:

Pumpkin Picking Poncho-I used an H hook
Everything is worked into the back stitch.
Chain 20, slip stitch into first hole.
R1~*SC next 3 holes, SCDR next 2 holes, repeat from *
R2~SC in back loop around (16 stitches)
R3~*3 SC in first hole, SC in next hole, repeat from *
R4~Ch3, DC around, slip stitch into original Ch3.
R5~(32 stitches) Ch 3, *DC in next 7 holes, 2 DC in 8th hole, repeat from *, slip stitch into original Ch3.
R6~Ch3, *DC in next 6 holes, 2 DC in 7th hole, repeat from *, slip stitch into original Ch3.
R7~Ch3, *DC in next 4 holes, 2 DC in 5th hole, repeat from *, join eyelash yarn (if using) on the last DC, slip stitch into original Ch3.
R8~Ch3, DC around using the eyelash yarn. Finish off and work in all ends.

The Hats: I used the Itty Bitty Hat Pattern HERE with an H hook-adorable!!! And made a cute little cap (which was a blooper from my first try at the Itty Bitty pattern... yes, following directions helps...) I think the fun trim makes Barbie the fanciest pumpkin picker in the patch!
