Easy Crocheted Poncho Tutorial

Great for the beginner! This is a super easy pattern for those who know their basic crochet stitches. Works up fast. I took a couple patterns and simplified this into my own design. Makes great gifts and color change is a breeze. I used 2 Caron Cakes for mine. Hope you make yourself one or 10 :) Comment below if you attempt it. (My videography skills stink, but I assure you its an easy pattern!) Thanks!

[@JG-yh8wz]

I did this poncho in greens and creams . So many people loved it and asked me for patterns that I wished you had posted the written pattern for it because they didnt want to follow along with the tutorial. Love your simplicity. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@cajundoodlesdaughter3266]

Really glad I found this video. Its been years since I crocheted and never more than an afghan that was way to long and not wide enough (but hay it was a shell stitch at least :P). We are about to take a trip to Maine and want to try this on the drive. You have done a great job in understanding and seeing how to do this. I am excited. Very pretty poncho !!!!

[@gracedistasio4101]

Hi! I absolutely love your video - you show exactly where to hook. And you don't go too fast either! Best crochet video out there by far! Do you have this pattern so I can print it out? I am definitely going to follow you so I can learn to crochet more items. Thank you!

[@MandosStudio]

Ooooh, Yay!!! A southern gal teaching CROCHET!! You sound like you're from the Carolina's by accent....but I could be wrong (usually Ga, Ms, Al have a thicker drawl than the Carolina's, but maybe I'm just a biased Carolina gal😜). Anyway, love that I found a fellow southerner to follow! Love the poncho! Thanks for giving the count for the various sizes too. And I thought you did great with your camera/CROCHET work! I don't think I could do it...I'm doing good looking at it directly and still miss, I'd really be OF if I had to look through a viewfinder or a screen! So, honey, you did great! New sub! Looking forward to more of your vids and patterns! Bye (in that beautiful southern bell drawl)! 😉

Thank you so much for this simple lovely pattern! 🧶👍🌞

[@ambergets6362]

Hello Mando’s Studio! And thank you for the wonderful crochet tutorial. I am asking if you could please please make a tutorial on how to crochet an African Flower Tortoise. I cannot find a video tutorial anywhere! I learned how to crochet simply by looking at videos, so my pattern reading is not great. I did look at your other videos and I see that crocheting is not your main thing, but I would appreciate it greatly if you could make this tutorial! Love from South Africa xxx

[@MandosStudio]

Amber Gets thank you for the kind words. I’ve never made one of the tortoises but have made the African Flower. My guess it’s just an assembly of those but I’d have to look more into it. Unfortunately, I’m having a neck procedure today & praying it helps get my feeling back in my hand enough to do more crochet. Currently I’m not able to do much. I can still paint, because it uses different muscles in my hand, but I have zero feeling in my thumb, partial index & middle fingers. I will def look into this while I heal up!! Blessings!!

[@ambergets6362]

Thank you so much you wonderful person! All the best wishes for your procedure! And Sala Kakuhle! (Good bye.)

So glad I found this video. I plan to make a poncho here soon. Can you please tell me where Roth found the black yarn at? I can’t seem to find any in an ombré style coloring.

[@MandosStudio]

Rebecca Moss the black ombré yarn I believe is a yarn cake by The Yarn Bee sold at Hobby Lobby.

[@rebeccamoss2948]

Thank you! I’m definitely going to look for it or something similar and make a poncho out of it.

[@janieharner5136]

Hey!! I learned a lot! Thanks for posting. I have subscribed and hope to learn more 👍👍

[@sagelise]

I'm wanting to try this but with size 6 super bulky yarn. Any idea how to convert your pattern to that? I'm fairly new to crocheting and confused about how to convert patters for different yarn weights. Thanks!

[@MandosStudio]

I have not tried to convert it. But I’d say 1 stitch with a P size hook would prob equal 2 stitches on mine. So chain 41, follow the pattern. Slip it over your head & see if it needs to be larger.

[@karinmccranie5142]

Great, easy to follow tutorial! Have you used cotton yarn for this poncho?

[@yvonne6540]

Awsome skills. Great video. And thank you for your time. Your video skills do not stink. Please keep posting them. They are really enjoyable. And you are real. 👍

[@pattyb9015]

if I were to put a sc edge around , how many sc in the ch. 2 spaces at corners? Love this poncho! Good tutorial.

[@MandosStudio]

patty b thank you. I normally do 3 sc in the ch2 space so it keeps the V.

[@joannesmith3919]

I love this poncho 💗 Thank you for your wonderful video. I am making this for my 10 year old granddaughter. This is a birthday gift. She is tall and husky... big boned 😊 I am so scared to judge the neckline. I want this to be a surprise 😃 Is 61 on a 6.5 hook good? Using Yarnspirations Bernat Pop. Please help 😉 Thank you

[@MandosStudio]

I’d say do 61 & the 6.5mm hook is perfect! How exciting!! Thank you for the kind words!!

[@joannesmith3919]

Mando's Studio Thank you for your prompt reply!😀 I just love your easy teaching style. Acrylic yarn should be ok then? Bless you always ~

[@MandosStudio]

Absolutely! Machine washable too if you use acrylic. :)

[@joannesmith3919]

Mando's Studio thank you Soooo much💖 you are a wonderful communicator and friend now 🌹

[@brwnlady]

Love the pattern. But I get 11 3-dc clusters & 10-3dc clusters between the v-stitch points. It evens out if I do 72 Scs instead of 70.

[@MandosStudio]

[@hettiegets1903]

Amazing pattern! Absolutely beautiful! The only thing is, I found that the 71 stitches at the beginning was way too small, it couldn't fit over my 13 year old head! I had to go 121 to make the top big enough. Maybe its just me? :)

[@MandosStudio]

Hettie Gets thx! I crochet loose & depends on your hook size & yarn size also! Enjoy

[@staceycornett1796]

Love this pattern! I've made several!

[@Rogtee]

The best tutorial thank you!

[@romyespy6586]

I bought 2 cake pop. How do you get the stripe colors exact on each row? Does it just automatically align because it’s variegated?

[@MandosStudio]

Romy Espy i just keep going on mine & it self striped like that, but you can cut your color at the start of a new row, but you’ll have a lot of waste that way

[@albakambouris8067]

[@ellenlowery6497]

How many rows do you suggest for toddler and baby poncho?

[@MandosStudio]

Ellen Lowery I usually measure the baby/toddler from neck to waist. Which most toddlers it’s like 12 rows. Babies 9 rows.also depends on hook size. :)

[@mimia6891]

If I chain 61 do I still make the first corner on the 35th stitch??

[@MandosStudio]

Mimi A no it’s half of the chain length, so 30 stitches

I am at row 20 and my poncho is looking good except it is curling at the edges. How do I prevent this?

[@MandosStudio]

Carol Davis it will until it gets some weight holding it down. Keep going. Try not working too tightly.

[@albakambouris8067]

Thanks for the Flavor lol.....just ordered it on amazon ( now they have 3 left)

[@donnagatlin6106]

Could you please send me a picture of this poncho? I would like to attach it to the transcript that I have printed. Thanks a bunch!

[@JG-yh8wz]

Dumb question for you. Will the front be the same as the back? I like one side better than the other, lol.

[@MandosStudio]

julie grandbouche there are no dumb questions but yes they’ll be the same but I always love one side better than the other! Lol how the colors line up etc.

[@JG-yh8wz]

Mando's Studio OH, OK. That is good to hear! This is my first poncho and Im glad I chose this one.. Only one blooper so far and it really is easy. So many tutorials say "easy", but really, most crochet is easy once you study it a while, yet there is usually a bit of confusion involved. This is mindless easy which is perfect for beginners. I wish other channels would be more disciplined with the term "easy", lol. I watched about ten easy poncho tutorials before choosing this one. THANK YOU for this one!

[@maureengreen4008]

Thanks for sharing and your videography was fine. Do you have a Facebook page? I'd like to share my finished project with you once I'm done.
