At long last, I have finally found a great extremely easy crochet poncho pattern!
I've been wanting to make a poncho since the day I began crocheting, but every pattern looked crazy complicated and wasn't exactly appealing to the eye. Thankfully lionbrand yarns came through for me for this season. Check out the pattern I used here.
If you're interested in making this, I would definitely use the lion brand pattern, but if you want to recreate exactly what I've done above, you can use this altered pattern below.
Make a slip knot
chain 73
Row 1: Half Double Crochet (hdc) in 3rd chain from the hook, and in each stitch across
Row 2: *chain 2, turn, hdc in each stitch across* repeat ** until piece measures 50 inches
fasten off
Fold piece lengthwise bringing 1st row to meet last row
Beginning at top right hand corner, slip stitch side edges together for 13 inches
hdc around neck opening join with slip stitch at the beginning chain
*chain 2, hdc in each stitch around, join with slip sitch*
repeat ** until neck cowl measures 8 inches
fasten off

Thank you for posting this. I saw it on pinterest. Its is exactly what I have been looking for! And such a simple pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI did the pattern as you had said to do with the same book different type of Redheart yarn but the next seems to get longer on one side and when I put it over me it doesn't Drake nicely it feels like it's almost a little too short I'm not that old but I am wondering if I should just add on some more Rose thank you
DeleteHi-
DeleteThe piece does end up being a little longer on one side and does drape to one side, but is barely noticeable. You can add a double crochet to the bottom, but it will be going in the opposite direction of your original double crochet pattern. Good luck!
Can't wait to try! Thanks for sharing. What type of yarn did you use?
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking it out! I used Caron simply soft.
DeleteWhat size hook did you use? I want to make it but I'm not sure what size!
ReplyDeleteI used a size h hook, hope that helps!
DeleteDo you remember how much yarn it took?
ReplyDeleteYes, it takes 5 balls.
DeleteThanks!
DeleteHi i am trying this out but i changed a few things after folding i sc around instead of slip stitching i sew it together i will try to link a pic but thank you so nuch for the post��
ReplyDeleteof course!
DeleteThanks for sharing been looking for something easy. If I wanted it longer do I just chain more?
ReplyDeleteI'd what I was thinking bigger hook
ReplyDeleteWhat size would you say this is? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the stitch gauge? I see we should crochet for 50”, approximately how wide is the poncho, before folding it? Thanks. J.W.
