How to Crochet The Easy Gift Poncho

[@LYNNSTER1971]

Easy to get lost…but in the end I do love involved, complicated patterns like this. SO worth the effort, and at times - the struggle - when the result is such a gorgeous garment. Everyone in town is amazed at it’s beauty (I chose my yarns with great care), and surprised I didn’t pay $150.00 for it off the rack at some fancy boutique! Mikey, you are the Yoda of complex crochet tutorials…I truly would have been forever lost with only a written pattern to guide me. Thank you so much for this gorgeous creation.❤️‍🔥💖💗

[@Halo.craftylady]

Thankyou. Ive been obsessed with making Ponchos last several months, recently finished this, and its one of my favorites.

[@monikaschmucki903]

Superschönes muster. Das muss ich unbedingt machen. Danke für das video

[@AnnaMAvila]

I love this, Thank you

[@rnnow1]

Thank you for a very easy to follow tutorial. I can’t believe how popular these crocheted ponchos and shawls are! My friends all want one and I’m happy to keep my fingers busy when I travel. I’m a sewer when I’m home. But have taken up crocheting again thanks to the awesome video tutorials.😉

[@virginiaroberts4921]

I enjoy seeing the same yarns of the patterns

[@lisastephens3447]

Thank you for this. I read the pattern but couldn’t make head or tail of it and this video explains it so much better. Love it x

[@valerieschiller6214]

Had to mega adjust the count to make it fit and used a single crochet reducing every 10th stitch every other row until I got the size opening I liked. I love it and have already worn it out n about! Thank you for the wonderful pattern and instrucions

[@rabbitfud]

I wish this video was linked to the pattern on the website. I read the cluster stitch all wrong, so my poncho is heavier but similar. I'm glad to find this now because I was even more confused about the fan edge. This was really helpful. Interesting that this pattern was listed as "easy" and "beginner" because it really is a bit difficult.

[@learn2swim96]

Thank you so much for the work you put in for us! I love this. I have an Aunt who is going through some horrific health trials right now and she gets cold easy. This is perfect. Thank you!! Also, love the Tweed and variegated. Perfect!

Seeing reverse crochet for the first time, it's so cool 😍

[@terriclark3150]

Hi Mikey. I love to watch your tutorials. Very helpful n easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.

[@doloresprichard5088]

awesome! just what I have been looking for---I can wear the point in the front which will be wonderfully comfortable in my wheelchair!! Thanks so much

[@leanorlinger6333]

Lovely. I will try it. You inspired me.

[@nanascraftycornerdonna6618]

Hi Mikey I really like your videos you explain things very easy something that is complicated you make it simple I just want to let you know you are awesome teacher

[@tanyastille5536]

This is a dream come true. I love ponchos, but never can find one I really liked, until now. The color combo you chose is PERFECT!!

[@shab2403]

I actually like that you used the double strand on camera. Thank you for another great video.

[@berthaz2583]

Hi Mikey, love the color combination and the design! The scallops are fantastic! Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial.

[@susymonzalvo5148]

How beautiful 💖, I hope to knit one like it. Greetings from Mexico 😊👍

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You can do it! Just give it a try.

[@pearlofthedarkage]

I'm not much of a poncho person, but this is pretty enough that I'm seriously considering making one. Great job!

[@lifeofaimee6259]

I am so excited and grateful that you did a tutorial on this - thank you - the variated yarn is gorgeous

[@LYNNSTER1971]

I did the lg/xl size. Fits me perfectly...except I had to decrease sc every stitch of the first round of neckline, lol. I chose the light tweed and the baby pink party yarns and it looks gorgeous!

[@marysalinas8802]

Beautiful work love it.

[@renukaamin6383]

Reverse crochet gives a beautiful edge, 👍

[@deborahgibson4256]

I love using 2 strands for unique color and texture affects. With Furl k.

[@vivjay67]

I just made this. Did the 183 chains in the correct size hook. did 22 inches as advised. Folded as per the video and its ended up long and thin, not like this video at all. Can someone advise what i'm likely to have done wrong as i really dont want to undo it all and start again. Thanks

[@jamimartensen8468]

Reverse?! So cool. I can't wait to do this one. You are such a great teacher.

[@Julies-in-a-mood]

I've had lots of luck using double strands to improve my satisfaction with yarns that look nice as a skein but don't work up as I like. Usually I use a grey yarn to tone down the patterned yarn, cut I'll try a tweed next time. Love this look!

[@shanielstewart7143]

Thanks for the tutorial I just made The poncho and I came out beautiful Great tutorial

[@Likaye-b9t]

Never heard of a reverse single crochet. Can’t wait to try. If you hadn’t demo’d this pattern I would never be able to do it from the pattern.

[@andreajohnston964]

Excellent tutorial thankyou.

[@Ocyla]

Very pretty, I'm going to use up the Rose Garden Caron Simply Soft with some pink for this I think.

[@sushilalugun5803]

Waao....so nicely explained

[@samanthak5831]

Definitely beautiful!

[@sharonhoughton4702]

So enjoyable to watch. Can't wait to start!

[@darbelleandkitenterprises2617]

***Update on second poncho - I thought I must have done something wrong in the first one as the neck was way too big and off the shoulder. Made #2 making sure to follow the pattern/video exactly and the same thing. So, I added 5 SC rows around the inside of the neck with decreases so it lays flat before doing the finishing edge. It looks really nice with the more rounded neckline since the scalloped edges are also round. Original post - Beautiful pattern and awesome instructions, thank you! I made the medium with 2 colors of solid simply soft and used only a small amount of the last of 3 balls of each color. I think there's enough left to make a matching hat.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Wonderful!

[@aretharobertson1370]

Hi I love your work and how you explain everything it's very helpful to me thank you very much. Do you have a Newsboy hat with a brim pattern ? If so where? Thank you in advance

[@ValyTraveler]

I needed this video for the scalloped part. I saw it on a vest that I wanted to make but couldn't figure out how the edging was done... Now, I do. Thanks...

[@rofayda85]

This is a while new level for me I hope I can make it 🙏 ✨ 🙂

Great shaw going to make one but like another person I would like to do a 3x. How do we figure out how to long chain when we started . Thank you

[@kathleenkillen7820]

Very nice, I like this a lot.

[@jamielyong1886]

Hello. I have a question...will it be possible to use 1 strand only throughout the pattern? Using 2 yarns will make it thicker and I'm living on the hotter part of the world but loving the design and would like to make one.

[@swadeedow8860]

I am doing mine right now with a single strand of yarn. I live in the middle east where it is very hot.

I have a thicker bulkier yarn I am trying to use up. Would doing this with one strand work?

[@aliciaolivera189]

Hi Mikey I love this poncho, but I don't want to do it double yarn is that ok ?

[@GiovannaSessa]

A friend asked me to do poncho for her. She bought the yarn, very stick one.. She wants a large cowl and long poncho. Well.. I did the cowl but now I am stuck on this project. I don't want to do a stiff and heavy poncho. What should I do? Yarn is chunky softer chunky big bulk grey and white. What project you would suggest. Pls? Tks

[@nstb40]

In the video you use a 6.5 hook How do you adjust the chain number if you're using a bigger hook. I want to use a 10mm hook

[@simplybeingelle]

Thanks for saying the person wrote it wrong. I was reading it and thinking the same thing.

[@healingsprings11]

How to maintain size of ponchu

[@louisealvey7246]

If I wanted to make it bigger (2XL/3XL) how many would I need to chain?

[@simplybeingelle]

2 x 1 Cluster Stitch (multiple of 3 sts +2; 2-row repeat) That is the pattern for the cluster stitch. To adjust a pattern requires math 😫 lol. You'll need to add to the large cast on an amount you need to equal the length you need. So say you need 4 clusters more you'll add in 12 cast ons. I hope that makes sense.

[@simplybeingelle]

The only issue about making it bigger is that you need to make it bigger by 1 shell on the bottom. You'd have to make it bigger by the scallop edging

[@alisonabeles5951]

I made the XL size and it was very bunchy around my neck and shoulders and didn't sit right. I gave it away. It is a beautiful pattern but the dimensions are too small for me.

You need to show the neck how to. doesn't makes sense on how to shape neck. I've been crocheting for 45 yrs and I'm not getting it.
