How to Crochet Easy Child Poncho

[@joannesmith3919]

Dear Sweet Mikey, I am sooooooo happy! I am now in the process of making a BEAUTIFUL poncho. I watched and tried to follow so many “””easy””” poncho videos. OMGOSH I was driving myself crazy!!! I am making a birthday gift for my granddaughter who’s only want is a poncho 💖 Thank you Thank you Thank You. You are a wonderful person and a wonderful teacher. 💜 Jo Anne

[@kimberlyhamby8546]

I can not thank you enough for this tutorial!! My granddaughter will love it I am sure. I worked for many days on a "easy " pattern that made me nuts. The directions were not clear and I wasted to much time trying to make it work. Thanks for helping this Mimi get it right with this cute Poncho!!!

[@elsaireland]

Fantastic video, pattern, clear instructions. Many thanks, much appreciated 🌷

[@offdhook3264]

I did 94 half double foundation chains! Works better, easier cause the yarn doesn't twist.😘 Thank you Mikey! Your Awesome! 💋💖

[@elainewright9926]

Going to definitely have a go at this poncho, very clear instructions, easy to follow.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Please do!

[@pc0086]

Hi Mike, at 7:58, you should've skipped one before doing the three double crochet, not right next single crochet. Otherwise the stitches are off at the end. I followed yours first, I ended up having 3 single crochet at the end after crocheting 5 groups of doubles. So, I did it my way, skipped a single crochet before and after when doing the three clusters double crochets. I ended up having only one stitch to join the first double crochet after a group of 5, which is perfect

[@aleksandrapetrov3827]

Thank you - thought that as well.

[@DR-rw5uq]

Thank you! It would have taken me quite awhile to have sorted out the problem. Glad you documented the fix here.

[@damariscenteno3242]

Hi Mike, thank you I followed your instructions and I have made a poncho for my granddaughter( 8/10 yes old). Now time to make one for me! I love following all your tutorials !

[@sondrabowers4837]

Hi Mikey, if I want to make this smaller, what are the multiples. Eg: divisible by 8 plus ? Or whatever. My ages are 6 to 8 and 4 to 6. Thank you.

[@rupalisohoni8809]

I mean how many ' inches '..

[@roseannegilson7872]

Love your videos

[@judis.1810]

I used your pattern and crocheted a poncho for my 8yr old granddaughter Gracie. If I can figure out how to add a picture of it to your channel would be great. It came out beautiful, just like Gracie.

[@yaldacrochet189]

Oh wow you are the best 👌

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Wow, thanks!

[@zohrehfarrokhpour9812]

Thank you , l made and very nice

[@MichelleSzromba-li9wi]

Hi Mikey. Your instructions are SO GREAT. Easy to follow for me because I am a visual learner. Would this fit my 2 year old Granddaughter? Or will it be to big?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I think it will be too big as the model for the child isn't a toddler. You may find another pattern like this that is more for babies and toddlers.

[@MichelleSzromba-li9wi]

Do you have a pattern for Toddlers?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

let me search the channel for you. I know of one but it's no in this design. Give me a few minutes. I usually put in the titles the sizing.

We’re there any corrections on this pattern I had to chain 91 to come up with 13 sets of three in between the points🥹 I have started this project 3 times🥹😊

[@krazymammaw3040]

Did you get a reply for a toddler size ?

[@1018vivi]

Thanks for the video... I will be making this with some Caron cakes yarn that I have stashed away🤓

[@shugarburke1987]

If you increase your initial chain count from 94 to 96, and keep the same cluster count then you will have perfect corners

[@ICanandIWheel]

Wow, wish I would of read this comment before I made this. Thanks for the tip. I will try that for the next one!

[@karenmazzant1071]

Should I do 96 chains or stick with the 94?

[@IRISHBUTT]

But if you increase to 96, it will either have a LARGER hole or it will have one more cluster than the other side. Won't it come out lopsided??? I would rather decrease to 93 and keep the count even.

[@phyllisbaker3396]

Why do I have 11 clusters on one side and 12 clusters on the other side. I followed the instructions exactly. Is it suppose to be this way?

[@Zina-lamiae1]

Thanks for the tutorial. I would l ik e to crochet for 3 years old girl, how many chains do I need in the beginning?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm really not sure without doing testing trials. It would be better to find a different pattern for that age so the math is correct. I'm sorry, we just have done that leg-work to know the answer.

[@heidikozlowski7981]

Love the tutorial but wish I was for lefties. Also where are you measuring for the 16inches when completed? At the points or on the side?? Thanks

[@marilynchivers7762]

After few rows,does it get to a point where as you have to start new row at the corners?

[@TheXbigmutherx]

How many rounds should I do? I don't know if you mentioned how many or not.

[@heidikozlowski7981]

The directions state finished is 16inches but I'm not sure where you measure it, at the points or side.

[@casperscozzycrochetandknit]

​@@heidikozlowski7981 I wanna say 28 but idk

[@marilynchivers7762]

Does someone know how long from the point to the neck line , for a 10 year old? Thanks.

[@louisahooey8592]

Hi mike, I’m making the poncho and I noticed my points are going crooked I’ve checked my stitch count of made sure there’s three in each one where they’re supposed . But I don’t know why it’s going crooked.Can you please help me.

[@joyarrandale898]

How many initial chain stitches would I need for size 6-7 year old please?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm not really sure without research and testing trails. It may be better to a different pattern for different stitch counts.

very nice thanks!

Do you no if there is a hat to March this poncho.

I have a slightly different pattern. thecrochetcrowd.com/spring-mom-and-me-poncho-set-crochet-pattern/ I don't know the chains without doing sampling and testing. I'm sorry.

can I use this video for adult size too and a J hook?

Yep

[@rahultudu1174]

Does wool yarn peel?How will I prevent it?Idont like synthetic yarn like nylon or acrylic. Ilike biodegradable ones.Plz tell me if bamboo yarn is better than the wool or acylic.

[@cherylzamora2219]

Hi Mikey thanks for the cool way to not twist the chain when joining I love your video's and how can I make this for an adult?

[@lefthandcrochetknittutoria9830]

Just make it longer. In the video description. There's a link and I address that specifically there.

[@lbo6050]

Make it longer and wider if you want but the width came out fine for my niece but I put it over my head too and it was fine. I'd just make this but longer and maybe a larger hook

[@charlottegreely5909]

Love this. Is there a way to add a hoodie to this?

Did you hear him say how many rows to make? I did not. I guess I will look at the photo and count myself.

Is there a pattern for an adult?

[@jackiegrzelka6797]

I was making this for my 2 yr old granddaughter but the neck is huge. Is this pattern done in threes or fours? I’d like to redo it smaller plz

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I don't believe this pattern is for that small of child. A complete redesign would have to be done to make it smaller and calculate the math. I'm sorry. I don't have that on hand to offer you.

[@penneywarren5295]

Should my points be even when I hold it up? Why would the points be off?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Due to going around and around, they can appear to be askew. As long as you have the space counts between the points, you are fine. I would dampen it and block it. I use steam to block it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5TdXml4qNuNr9U

[@casperscozzycrochetandknit]

How many rows long do i make it???

Has anyone actually just used Red heart yarn and changed color when you want? I need to work on something and money is tight right now , and that’s all the yarn I have . Curious if so how it came out. Other wise I will wait and get the Caron cakes I have never used . Always admired it though thank you 😊

When starting a new row, I slip stitch to get to the next section to crochet 3ch and then 2dc. Each start of a new row moves over one....am I doing this wrong...please advise.

[@lbo6050]

It shouldnt move over one.. or at least I've not noticed it, I suppose it couldve lol. I'll keep going and check back! I'm sure you were doing it right!

[@lbo6050]

Ok. So after a few days of working on this when I find the time... mine is doing that also. The slip stitch is going further over to the left each time but it's not effecting anything (yet at least lol) I'm half way through.

[@JaceyChay]

Hi, I would like to fo this lovely poncho for my girl that is 5 years old. How can I reduce (or rather how many chains should I reduce) the chains so that it is smaller?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm not really sure on the multiples. I would think about looking up ponchos on Ravelry for this style as someone else may have a chain count that is smaller for your wishes. :D

[@jocelynbeier4991]

I did a 78 FDC, so I had 9 groups of 3 between the v’s for my tall almost 5 year old and it fits great. I used FDC to give the neck a little bit of stretch so I can just add to the length as she grows, and can hopefully get a couple of years wear out of it.

I followed your tip to keep the chain from turning and as I got to the end of round one it managed to end up twisted. I don't know what I did wrong. I've taken this out several times!! Help!!!

[@lbo6050]

Girl I did the same 😅

[@lbo6050]

Someone mentioned doing a half double chain and it wont twist but I've never done one, I'm sure it's easy if I looked it up

[@delladearest2511]

Elizabeth Wolford Instead of joining, turn the work for the foundation, then join work at round 2 into 3. When you finish the neckline separately later, it will cover over it. See crochet grandmas child’s V stitch poncho.

[@donnawoodland9719]

Hi Mickey! Love your tutorials. I can't stop it from twisting. I've tried it 4 times and the same thing happens. I've done the adult poncho but that one wasn't done in one piece. Any suggestions?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

The chain you mean?

[@donnawoodland9719]

How to Crochet - The Crochet Crowd thank you for responding. Yes so I chain the 94 the way you show in the video and it all looks good. It's after I get the first row done in the pattern with the skip one and then dc three times - after that row there is a twist in it. I think it's the way I'm sc the chain or something. Sorry for sounding so confusing. I'm only crocheting a year learning strictly from your videos.
