[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Yes it is! And I think it is so lovely for such a simple pattern.

[@SARIKA0425]

Your tutorials are the best..❣️❣️

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Glad you like them!

[@prasannavenugopal2324]

Namasthe 🙏. It's very beautiful. I'm a beginner. I learnt a couple of simple knitting patterns. So I want to try this. Thank you. I'm from India.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Wonderful! I think you can do it. It only uses some basic crochet stitches.

[@suzannegeorge7585]

This pattern would be easy to make into a pocket shawl. I like it!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Oh yes, honestly it is like a shawl. I didn't add that photo to the video but I do have a photo on the post of my MIL using it as a rectangle shawl.

[@evettesamuel]

Very pretty and easy thank you so much for your tutorial

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You’re welcome 😊

[@deelutkowski8560]

I already made two of these and they are beautiful and easy

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

That is wonderful!

[@EvieO1950]

You came up with a beautiful design!! Love that it’s DK weight yarn, that’s my favorite!! Thanks Lindsey!! 💖💖🧶💖💖 nicely done tutorial as always!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You are so welcome! I have been asking my Facebook group for ideas lately. I may have an idea for the design but they give me suggestions on what yarn to use, how complex to make it and more.

[@EvieO1950]

@@WindingRoadCrochet yes I was following that on FB. Good job bringing it together for us!

[@miriamjenkins3560]

??If you wanted to do two rows of DC in between the eyelets would that be ok, to give it a different effect

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

That would be just fine. It would just spread out the eyelets.

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

I love this idea

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Great!

[@colhrt40]

Beautiful! It would be nice to see a bulky weight yarn for a poncho.👍😀💗

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

When I was designing the poncho, I asked my Facebook group what they wanted in a poncho, they asked for something easy to remove (so buttons) and something light. There are the size measurements (in a chart) on the written pattern if you wanted to use a different yarn. You would just need to chain until it is the length you need for your size then work rows until you reach the right height.

[@RIODJENIRO1]

Just found your channel, will be making this poncho this week! Thanks so much, have liked and subscribed to your channel!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thank you! I hope you like the poncho it is very fun to work up.

[@lifeofaimee6259]

Thank you, thank you, thank you...I'm so going to make this..would Caron Simply Soft work well in this?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I would check the gauge but I think it will. It is a thinner size 4 yarn.

[@katherinesingh9265]

Beautiful

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thank you

[@joycechapman262]

Really like this pattern. Have some lion brand ombre that will be great for making this poncho.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Great idea!

[@judyyoung529]

Can I use Size 6 bulky yarn? If so how many chains for a size L/XL?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You could adjust it to a bulky yarn but I wouldn't know the chains needed as I do not know what you gauge is. If you check out the written pattern there is a chart that tells you how wide and tall the poncho should be. www.windingroadcrochet.com/crochet-poncho-free-pattern/

[@donnap4703]

When you get to rows 8-33 what is the stitch count?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

It depends on the side. It should be the same as row 1. XS/S -187 M - 197 L/XL - 209 2X/3X - 219 4X/5X - 227

[@robertamillar3482]

I love this I’m trying it out now but my yarn is different size so I’m using a size seven hook plus Bernet pop for mind so I’m only using in stitches because the yarn stretched only having 170 stitches in mind

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I believe any odd number of chain will work. You just have to make it as long as you like and work less rows.

[@robertamillar3482]

Thank You

[@foxxybrown291]

Cute 👌🏾 xx

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thank you! 😊

[@debbiemcclure2874]

I have some really pretty yarn coming from icebox and some from snufflebean that would be perfect for this. Tyfs God bless you

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Sounds great!

[@ambiekraftsreads]

Hello!! Will have to look and see if I have any size 3 yarn. This looks lovely. Happy Crafting and God Bless

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thank you! You too!

[@deelutkowski8560]

I'd like to make this Poncho for my granddaughter I think the extra small would be too big could you just tell me how many chains I need to make for a 6 year old

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I only have a 7 year old on hand to measure. But I am coming up with a starting chain of 165. This will make the total length about 50 inches if you gauge matches the pattern.

[@deelutkowski8560]

Thank you I really appreciate you helping me out she wants to be just like her mother and I made her mother one and her aunt thank you again love your love your videos your instructions are so clear and easy to follow thank you again

[@cindycover3675]

I was thinking of using Caron Cakes? Would I just use the hook size recommended on the label? Your tutorials are always so easy to follow and your products are BEAUTIFUL!! ♥️💐

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Yes you can! But caron cakes is a size 4 (which is ok) just check out the written pattern and find out how wide the poncho should be (we are just making a rectangle) then chain until you reach that width (make sure it is an odd number of chains) then you can follow the pattern and just stop crocheting when you reach the height you want (there is on listed on that chart).

[@cindycover3675]

@@WindingRoadCrochet Thank you so much! (A local store had the Cakes on sale for $3.99 so I made a MAJOR SCORE!) This is going to make some beautiful Christmas gifts!! 🎅🏼🎄

[@deeron1554]

A lot of American Crochet 'teachers' don't seem to realise that people from other parts of the world. Don't have access to the brands of yarns they mention in their tutorials or the fact that it is very expensive even if it is available. Offering an alternative will be nice. Otherwise a great tutorial which I will try on an alternative yarn - gauging it first of course.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I just show what I used because otherwise people will ask. Of course alternatives are great. I really don’t expect anyone to use the yarn I used. This one was a lightweight yarn and any lightweight yarn that meets the gauge will work just fine. It is wonderful that you understand gauge. A lot of people do not and do not have the knowledge to easily substitute yarns.

[@mariahopkins9452]

I made one alot like this it is called The Uptown Poncho yours is pretty but very similar to hers

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

This poncho has a nice basic shape. I tried to make it very beginner friendly, while still adding a little extra detail at the bottom.

[@gailstellar9628]

I have some Lion Brand Cupcake that will be perfect for this🧶

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Yes it would!!

[@oglusumkucuk8589]

Merhaba🙋 en ve boy cm verirmisiniz lütfen

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Feel free to check the written pattern. Everything is in inches but google has a awesome tool that can convert measurements. I am not sure which size you are looking for.
