About Ponchos and pattern :D
Hello my friend,
I’ve finished today the baby poncho for my niece Clara who’s six months old…and I’ll put here in this post the pattern if someone is interested in crocheting one…It is sooo simple to make and so cute for the children:) It really makes a great gift 
I’ve already made 3 ponchos…2 in march and 1 now…
The 2 I made in March were bigger (for my own girls: 3 and 5 years old)… Here they are:
and the last one is for a baby:
For the pattern:
All you have to make is a chain big enough to enter through baby’s head and a multiple of 8: (It is very important that the chain is a multiple of 8!! For the baby I made a chain of 72)
and after that you follow this graphic pattern:
and you continue this way until you crochet the length you desire…
You’ll see, it is very easy and quick!
P.S: This below part was added on march 2012:
I want to try here to explain a little the pattern with written instructions. I’ll use the U.K terms. Remember a tr in U.K terms means a dc in U.S terms and a bride in french terms.
To begin your poncho: make a chain multiple of 8 and big enough to enter the head. close it with a slip stitch.
Round 1: 1 tr, 1tr, 1tr, 1 ch, 1tr, 1tr, 1tr, 1ch on every stitch of the beginning chain.
Round 2: Count your clusters of trebles. If there is 16 like in the graphic above you should make now: “3tr,1ch,3tr” on the first ch between the clusters of trebles of round1, then “3tr,1ch” on the next 7 ones, then “3tr,1ch,3tr” on the 9th one then “3tr, 1ch” on the next 7 ones again…
In fact, you should fold your round1 in two. and make two groups of “3tr,1ch,3tr” on each part of your round1…
Don’t know if I’m making myself clear, please take a look at the graph to know exactly where to make your two groups of “3tr,1ch,3tr”
Round3: make “3tr,1ch,3tr” on the chain between the two clusters of 3tr then continue making “3tr,1ch” on each other ch of round2, then again “3tr,1ch,3tr”on the second chain between the two clusters of 3tr , then again “3tr,1ch” on each other ch of round2…
etc etc
For all the other rounds, you should work the same….
When to stop? when you’ll have the lenght you desire for your poncho
I hope I made it a little clear with these written instructions…
Happy crocheting to you all!

Just beautiful, love the bright colours. I was thinking this would make a great gift for my niece who’ll be 4 in a few months time, how long was the chain you used for the poncho for your 5 year old if you can remember. My niece does not live near me so I can’t use her as a model.
Thank you Paula!
For my 5 years old daughter I made a chain of 80ch and I used a 4mm crochet hook:)
kisses!
Thank you, this will definitely go on my list of To Do projects
Un grand merci à vous, j’en voulais un pour mes petits filles !!

Thank you for the poncho pattern. Beautiful. Greetings from Argentina
Hi,
Great poncho.
I didnt know how to make a poncho but was determined to make one for myself. My idea was to make big granny squares and join them. Working on it currently, hope it turns out right.
But this poncho is great! Please tell me for adult sizes do we have to keep it as multiples of 8 or is there some other number.
You have inspired me to make one for my daughter as well.
Thank you
Shivani
Thank you Shivani,
Yes, if you want to follow this pattern you have to begin it with a multiple of 8 chain…big enough to enter through an adult head
I will make one for myself and post about it when I’ll have more time!
Have a nice day!
Thanks a lot for sharing the pattern!
Can´t wait to try it this winter for the little girls in the family!!!

I have made my a poncho for my daughter with your pattern. See the result on http://tanteizzy.blogspot.com/2011/02/het-wordt-weer-lente.html
Your blog is amazing. I adore the colors and playfulness of your designs. This is very inspiring. Thank you for being so talented and sharing with us.
Please help with one questions: I am a beginner and about to knit the poncho for 2 girls (6 year olds. One lives in Tel Aviv and the other one in Budapest), they are my nieces.
I am not sure how to choose the right yarn? I have no problem with the knitting part. Should I look for a certain mixture? (cotton, synthetic, wool…?), should it be light/heavy and so on. I need to knit as soon as possible as they both have a new little brother and I would like to send it to them in the mail really soon
Anyone, please help…. Thank you so so much!
Superbe, merci pour ce diagramme ! J’ai bien envie d’en faire un pour mon fils d’un an !!
Thank you so much !
Thanks again for this lovely pattern! I just LovE it!!
I´ve made two of them, for little sisters, and I´ve posted them here: http://linhasimaginarias.blogspot.com/2011/03/alegria-meu-nome-e-poncho.html
I´ve added a link for your beautiful blog! Thanks a lot!
I loved ponchos. Thanks for the chart!
Thank you for the poncho pattern. It looks so lovely. I’m making a poncho for my daughter and she likes it too.
Thanks for your pattern!!
I try it, you can see my version in my blog.
Thank you so so much!
I love this pattern. On the ponch oy ou made with the scallop border, how would I do that border?
Thank you!
what wonderful colours you use, I too love colour.
I am new to crochet after many years but becoming a grandmar inspired me to try again.
I have started on your baby poncho for a one year old.
I think my wool is a lot finer, DK, as I had to do 88 stitches!!
I am using 4.5mm hook.
It’s looking good and I am really enjoying it thanks to your blog.
Can you give any tips on changing to a new colour. I can’t get it just right.?
Also do you do 3chains when you move into the next round?
Here’s hoping you have time to response.
Thanks for your blog it’s a real motivator
Hello Piglet,
Thank you for ur message:)
About changing the color: I just cut the yarn and make a double node with the two yarn ends (the old color and the new one) and continue crocheting…
and yes, I do, 3 chains instead of the first treble of each round
Have a nice day!
Hi,
Thanks for sharing your pattern/chart I chained 88 for my 7 year old daughters poncho.

Jude
Thank you for this pattern to make a crochet poncho
It is lovely.
Love the poncho pattern, makes it so easy. I am making one for my son and for myself.
Hi Sucrette,
Thank you for sharing the poncho-pattern. I made one for my baby girl this weekend (see a picture on my blog). It would be great when you could add to the pattern how you crochet the gulfed border, I tried something, but mine did not turn out so nicely as yours. I’m happy enough, though, the pattern is lovely.

Hi Sucrette,
I’ve been following your blog for a while now and have been wanting to make a poncho for myself. I’m not that experienced though. So here are some difficulties that I’ve encountered. I am sharing them with you hoping you might give me some advice.
I am using a K hook as the yarn I’m using is thicker. Sticking to the pattern I end up with pretty big gaps. Should I increase the number of double crochets to close those.
Thanks, Andrea
Thank you for the poncho pattern. I’ve made a poncho for my 4 months old niece, you can see it here: http://ja-motyl.blogspot.com/2011/11/malutkie-poncho-bardzo-kolorowe.html
I can’t wait to make a couple of these for my Grandbabies!
I’m just making one for myself. I have 41 different colours of cotton yarn, just love it <3

So cute! Love the color combination!
Wonder if it would look silly on an over-50 woman—I really want to make one for ME!
Was wondering that myself! I am 51.
Love the pattern! So easy to follow. I’m following along with your CAL, and I am so excited to have a nice poncho to wear around the fire when we camp this summer!
hello sucrette,
i have a counting problem! i think it’s not only enough to have a multiple of eight! when you start with a chain of 72 you have 9 blocks of 3 dc on each side of the middle, where i crochet two 3 dc blocks in one chain. but when i start with a chain of 80, i have 9 blocks on one side and 10 blocks on the other side. is this right? the one side of the poncho will get a bit bigger as the other side now. is that a problem? can you see that, when the poncho is finished?
greets from germany

no, sorry, forget what i wrote, i don’t know why and where but i think i miscounted?! it’s right even i started with 80 chains. strange…..

I’m thinking of making this poncho for my cousin and I saw a few images on the ravelry site without the tassle in the middle at the bottom. Can you tell me how I can make the poncho without the tassle?

Thank you for sharing this! My 4-y.o. daughter just broke her elbow and getting her huge cast into a coat, or even draping the coat over her shoulder, is a long, painful task. It’s starting to get really cold in our area, so I’ve been wondering what to do for her. I stumbled on your pattern this morning and I’m so happy to have found it! Thank you!!!
Merci pour ce modèle, j’ai adoré le réaliser, il est présenté sur mon blog:

merci encore!
merci Sucrette, pour ce modèle facile à réaliser, je l’ai fait avec une seule laine chinée.
ta petite famille est ravissante et bébé joé et tout mignon, bisous
I’m having a problem.. both w/ the graph and the written instructions. I’m sure it’s me.. but I’m hoping you can help me. When I get to the end of Rnd 1 there is one chain left. The graph says to sc, but I want to ch1 and then slip stitch to the top of the ch 3. But if I do that then I can’t do the next Rnd of stitches.. b/c I’m in the top of the ch3, so I’m thinking I either need to slip stitch to the ch 1 space, or turn my work. Did you turn you work every Rnd? I hope I haven’t confused the situation even more. Thank you for trying to help me!
beautiful I’m making one myself following your pattern if you want to see me go on my page! hello
Hello Sucrette,
Greetings from San Francisco!
I love this poncho – I will be making these for all of the little girls in our family for Christmas. One question though – I see in the photo of the baby poncho that you have added some nice edging. Can you share the pattern for that?
Thanks!
Sarah
Hi Sucrette
Greetings from Brixham in Devon, England!
I have made this Poncho in a baby pattern, I needed it to fit a 3 to 6 months size.
I tried it with 80 stitches but this worked out bigger one side than the other. I tried it with 88 chain and a smaller crochet hook and this was perfect. I made it in dark mint green and white but instead of the shell trim I put tassels all the way around and made a beenie hat in the mint green with a white crocheted bow attached. Also as I am left handed I had to reverse your diagram in my head so it worked out.
Really pleased with the finished article.
Thanks again
Brenda
Hi love your poncho, i am new to crochet, and was wondering if you or anyone else can tell me what wool/yarn to use and what size hook, much appericiared really want to try doing this poncho
Thanks kelly
Since there is No gauge and this poncho is the most easy poncho I ever saw, It is up to you to decide which yarn you like, on the yarn label it will tell which hook / needle fits, but you will have to determine if the result too tide or too loose, and than to switch to a larger smaller hook.
bellisimo poncho perchè è facilmente adattabile anche per gli adulti dovresti però indicare la grossezza della lana usata e il numero di uncinetto relativo, cosi per noi risulta più semplice realizzarlo. complimenti
hello, j am again , j have a big problem. j am making a poncho for my daughter of 15 years, a size M about, with a crochet of 3 . j have starter 116 chains but after 20 laps , j realized that freezes or better jumps on the shoulders . I don’t know if I explained well. perhaps, as an adult I had to increase more mesh instead of 3TR 1ch 3TR, j must make from 10 laps 6TR 2 ch 6TR.I can make a suggestion with email. thank you in advance
Hi, I just love your ponch. I was looking to make one for my daughter (8yrs) and niece (2 yrs). My niece stays in US while I’m in India, so I’m not sure of her measurement. Can u pls give me an idea of the beginning no of chains. Thank you.
I have made one for my daughter who is 7 going on 8 and I made it using a 110 chain which is big so I just made her a crocheted cord to draw it in so it will fit her for a few years yet.
I’m going to attemp to make this for my granddaughter, I’m still a beginner as such and still learning so I hope it comes out ok .xx
I am currently finishing a poncho following your tutorial and I am wondering how did you finish yours? I don’t seem to understand how to knit the last row, as it looks different than the rest in the pictures. Have you knitted *5tr, 1tr*?
I am on to my second and third poncho. So to complete the poncho you continue as tho your going to start a new row. What you need to do after the last treble and chain slip stitch into top of 3 chain and then your finished.
Hola, sirve el esquema para un poncho de adulto? aumentando claro esta las cadenetas iniciales. gracias
[...] D’ailleurs le patron que je vous ai montré dans le post précédent vient de ce blog. [...]
To do for an adult what size Hook needed? Thanks
Thanks for the pattern!
My adult version of the poncho: http://infantilli.blogspot.com/2013/03/crochet-poncho.html
Un gros Merci pour partager ce poncho! Je l’adore! Je suis presentement en train de le crocheter pour mes 2 filles de 2 et 4 ans! J’ai presque fini! (je vien de realiser que ce serait mieu un peu plus long! )
J’aimerait savoir comment tu as fait la derniere ranger, le hedging..
Merci!
Très joli !!! Quel numéro de crochet pour ce poncho ? Merci beaucoup
Hi there, simply became alert to your blog through Google, and located that it is really informative. I am going to watch out for brussels. I’ll be grateful in the event you proceed this in future. A lot of other folks can be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!
A damp dull day here, couldn’t do gardening as planned but hey have now started a lovely little poncho. I taught myself to crochet about 4 months ago, and knew this was the sort of thing I wanted to make. Thank so very much!
Beautiful – thanks for sharing
