From 1968. My best friend in 3rd grade had this exact poncho made by her grandma. It was orange and yellow and red. She wore it a lot!

Awesome! Thank you!

Corinna, Happy Sunday. You have made my day with this one. My grandmother made a you and me set. I wore mine until I out grew it. Then after gran passed away I found the match. I wore her poncho until it fell apart. 😢 day. But now I can make a new one. Tyty

I texted this one to myself. It’s something I will use. Right from my era! 😊 I only wish my work was as beautiful & pristine as yours. Thank you Corinna.

hi can't wait to see finished poncho ❤ also I'm from the UK but I only ever use US terminology it's so much better 😁

[@justvintagecrochet]

Oh cool! and thank you , part 2 coming out soon, got my yarn yesterday and am working on the lower half as we speak :)

[@berylgilligan9287]

@@justvintagecrochet brilliant 😔😁😁

[@BetPondue]

I'm from UK and use US terms too, it seems more logical. I first learned to make granny squares in the late 60s, no pattern, my aunt showed me. My next effort was in the early 90's when I picked up a small booklet, thread and hook in a pack from a book shop, I learned but didn't do much. It was when I got access to the Internet that things took off. There were far more American patterns online, so that's what I got used to. Currently I'm making a few things for my granddaughter, a dress, bolero and a blanket. Keeps me busy! Wish my eyes were better though 🤣

You are a genius! How you can read 🗝️ old patterns is mind boggling... I bet you can read hieroglyphics without the Rosetta stone.

[@suongvuong4964]

Did anyone got confused on the row with 7 loops(CH7)? I had fun following her until the end of that row(row 5 or 6)! She started w/3 shells(3TC-3DC-3TC), CH7.....(repeat).... and end w/3TC-3DC shells, then Slip Stitch into the top of the 1st TC of the beginning shell. That's total 7 shells(3 at begin & 2 at the end!). She said 7 loops and 3 shells in between. But, I counted 7 loops, 6 of 3shells and 1 of 5 shells!??? So, what went wrong?

[@riekpothoven7283]

My to

[@abilitycrafting864]

Same here. She had the right amount, but when you looked at her beginning work she had 3 shells and her ending had 2 shells, skipped a shell and slip stitched, but when she showed us the end she only had the 3 shells. How do we fix it?

[@ReallyJillRogoff]

Your lovely work looks far prettier than the illustration. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.

[@justvintagecrochet]

Wow, thank you!

[@raquelt1235]

Can’t wait to make this beautiful poncho! I grew up in the 70s and it definitely brings wonderful memories! Thank you❤

[@justvintagecrochet]

Wonderful!

[@joanneentwistle7653]

I can see this made in greens and browns to resemble pinecones for an autumn poncho, or maybe a variegated yarn with autumn colours. Very nice pattern!

[@3rdand105]

I like the poncho, I already know you're gonna look great in it! One thing I love about your videos has nothing to do with crochet. It always sounds like someone is typing in the background, and it reminds me of my mother when I was a child; she was an avid crocheter, as well as an excellent typist. I suppose the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but my point is that, for me, it makes your videos that much more comfortable and inviting. Thank you for all that you do.

[@subliminalphish]

Looking at this . I was thinking how beautiful and unique of a shawl this would be if it was made with one side left open. I mean how cool would that be??? The pineapple was may mother favorite stitch she made a full queen sized spread with a fine yarn that went through 2 floods and it was a bad time as the last flood took it from me. I loved that. She put a LOT of time and money to make it and it was beautiful. So is this!!! Angora what a wearable! I had a knitted angora sweater my then mother in-law washed and dried. She was something special.... she knew.

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

I remember these. I've seen them in brown and gold together and creamy color plus other colors. Good old days.

[@DLRyoung]

I had a red yellow and brown one, super scratchy… but was nice because my grandma made it. She tried to teach me how to crochet nd knit. Not having it back then. Love this. Blessings

Have you ever washed items several times to see if this yarn keeps its shape or does it stretch out like acrylics usually do?

Hi Corinna... I'm enjoying your tutorial but did have trouble with your round 5.... the written pattern does not start with the 3 shells, and your video seems to alter from what is shown in the beginning of the round and what is shown at the end 😉 really had me confused 🤔 but looking forward to part 2

[@lindaschneider7384]

Hello I have now 🐸 this pattern out to the 1st row 5 x's now so I am throwing in the towel.i get 17 treble shells and 5 dc shells come up one short on row with chain on row 5 so either the pattern is wrong or there is something wrong in the st out

[@creampeonies2417]

I'm experiencing the same exact issue..any luck?

[@creampeonies2417]

I think I found the issue! If you go to 17:02 and watch how the round starts and compare it to how it looks at the end of the round at 22:41 you'll notice a change seems to have been made where the beginning of the round actually starts with sc, large shell, sc, ch 7....if you start this way you'll get 7 chain links with 3 shells &increase in-between all around and end the round as instructed. Good luck

[@letitiawaltersdorff4721]

Ahhhhhh. Now I don’t feel so bad. I was about to throw it across the room. I’ve frogged it 4 times and every time I get to row 5, my shell count is off and I’m not symmetrical (even though my shell count for round 4 was dead on. I will be ripping row 5 out and try it with your suggested start. Hopefully it will work out. I really want to finish and wear this poncho

[@bigbrew067]

So beautiful, i think I'm gonna make some😅

The Trouble With Tribbles 😂

[@gracesamblanet]

I finished the 4 vintage crochet fans I was working on and have started this poncho. I have completed the pineapple and am doing my homework I goofed somewhere on the loops for the base of the pineapple but frogged it and fudged it and it looks great so far. Thanks for walking (and talking) us through each of the rows. Sometimes I just listen and crochet as you instruct without having to watch. But other times I really need to see what the crazy instructions are saying. Thank you.

[@donnasqueaky2]

Ooh! I want to try it! But right now I'm trying to figure out how to sew a fitted dress. I cant print the pattern so I'm trying to make my own. 😂

Lovely poncho Corinna! I hope I can start to crochet again…I have a pattern for a bedspread that uses pineapple stitch….I really want to make this but really can’t understand the directions….love ya ❤❤❤❤

[@trishblake4484]

Hi, love your work and I have started the poncho and I’m stuck on row 5 !! Row 4 all good as I have 5 increases and 17 shells. Row 5 I have 7 x 7 chains loops and after last loop I only have 4 chains something is wrong and I started it 5 times and same thing. Can you help please. Thank you

[@jonathansaxby9489]

Same thing happened to me!

If you wanted to increase this by one pineapple, how many starting chains would you need?

[@LauraE.9897]

Hi Corinna, hope you're having a great day. I know Ive mentioned to you several times about my little poncho with slits for the hands that I wore as a little girl in the 70's, & here you find this beautiful pattern. This will be gorgeous in the white. If I ever find my box of childhood things with that little poncho Im going to send you a picture. On mine the slits weren't open at the bottom, but I love this one you found, its like the grown up, beautiful version. Has anyone told you today that you're amazing, because you are! 🩷🤗 PS: I think you said this went up to a size 16, did it happen to have a pattern or changes you would need to do for a plus size(3X)? Since my traumatic brain injury I have a hard time straying away from specific things spelled out to follow. Ive finally gotten to where I am feeling that I can folliw written patterns. I credit you for helping me with that. Watching so many of your videos where you have to decipher these old patterns has made me want to stick with it more & try to follow written patterns. Thanks Corinna, you are a treasure. 🥰

[@bettejones75]

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know i have been making this poncho with a hobby lobby 4 weight yarn and the i hook and it will definitely fit a 3x size with room to spare!!! Happy stitching!!! Bette

I am so sorry for your loss!!! I lost my dad 2 years ago and i hurt everyday. Crocheting helps to hide the pain, as i need to concentrate on what i am making. Corinna has the best videos!

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

I found a new Red Heart yarn called 'Brushed'. It gives a halo to the yarn - nice a soft looking. Similar to the 'Dreamy' yarn. I bought the mink color. I am a plus-sized girl so I am going to try a 6.5 or 7mm hook. Does this pattern give you measurements of the finished project - chest size/width? My 'girls' would like to fit into this gorgeous pattern :)))

[@justvintagecrochet]

oh my gosh! that sounds lovely! , Im gonna have to look for that . Thanks!!

[@123dawney]

how many more stitches do u add to get a bigger neck

[@tanyasnyder9033]

It might be me. But I'm trying to make this along with you. I got to row 5, where we are working the 7 chains. You start out with 1 sc, then 1 full shell, 1inc shell,1 full shell, 1sc in the middle of the next shell and then chain 7. But at the end you are making more shells. So that leaves more then 3 shells in-between the chain 7 at the end. Help

[@alec19811]

Is there a way to find out if you can size it up the neckline instead of doing 68 is there a multiple to make it bigger for the neck or is it only the one way of doing it?

[@lindaschneider7384]

Hello this is my 2nd attempt at making the pineapple Pancho rolls 5 does not come out right i used st markers and counted like you said to but it does not work thank you and have a good day

[@sarahhawkins398]

Hi is there anyway this can be made larger as I'm a plus size lady and I'd love to make it for myself

[@justvintagecrochet]

yes, we will go over that in part 2 , it's just a matter of adding more rows , as you ad rows it grown wider as well as longer, we will deff go over that :)

[@marilyngrayCraftandcrotchet]

May I suggest a larger crotchet hook and a 5 weight yarn? That usually works for patterns that don't have multiple choices for sweater patterns for me. 😊

hello, now I've tried to crochet it several times, but no matter how many times I do what you do, I don't get the same as you before starting the pineapple. when I've made the 7 stitches and need seven of them, I don't have to both make the 3 triple and make 3 double stitches, so what do you want to do?

[@cloudy042]

If you look at the written pattern, one of the sets of three shells between the ch 7, is not an increase. It's 3 of the triple crochet shells with the single crochets on the shells in between. I can't explain it well, but following the written pattern rather than the video for row 5 it works out correctly.

[@doninis1354]

Again a very nice pattern and a very well explained tutorial. How far down did you reach with just one ball of yarn? I think I am gonna pass on this one, stil enough on the list 😉 I already have a pinapple shawl my grandma did ages ago. Which color would you have used, if not white for the camera?

I love pineapples and have tried twice to make this. I've had no problems till I get to the row with 7 chains of 7. Something isn't right by the end of the row and I can't finish it as you do in the tutorial. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have tried many more times since originally posting my comment and still can't get past the round of 7 chains of 7. I'm to the point that I'm giving up and won't try making this again. I really do like it and want to make it and thought I had it figured out this time, but again it didnt work out and now I'm frustrated.

Does anyone wear ponchos? I've seen them in fashion design but not in what people wear everyday. When I was young ponchos for little girls were popular in the 70s. Maybe they are worn mostly by kids.this pants on the model look like creased polyester pants from the 70s. Just before denim got popular.
