I’m knitting a poncho for my grandmother and I really appreciate the versatility of this pattern! It inspired me to get creative and make the poncho my own 🤗

[@islajoyray]

how long is it taking for you to mack the poncho?

[@JJW77]

Fiber Spider, boy are you multi-talented!!! I enjoy watching your video even thorough I hate to knit just to witness your happy demeanor. I have made quite a few of your awesome crochet projects for family and friends. I created an ox (2021 Year of the OX) for you. If I ever make it to the post office, I will be sending it to you.

[@FiberSpider]

Oooh that sounds awesome!

[@JJW77]

@@FiberSpider I just returned from the post office. You should get the package by it by 15th this Saturday. Could you get me know when you receive it? Thanks!!!

What a beautiful poncho! Thank you

[@ruthgoebel723]

I have been searching for a nice simple poncho pattern for some yarn I have dedicated for that purpose. This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!! This is so versatile as far as yarn weight and size. Thank you, Craig!

[@janelloyd4332]

That is simply adorable..thank you for posting, it's a must make..

[@rapa2894]

I have a bunch of comfy cotton in this color. I think 4 or 5 cakes. Should make a great poncho for me! Thank you!!! I love comfy cotton.

Thank you. Must put on the to do list.

I don’t knit but you are so adorable when you model your creations.

Love this!! Definitely on to do list!!

[@marycooke240]

I love seeing the things you make and trying the ideas for myself. But.....I have a limited data plan and I wish you had written instructions. Not everyone has high-speed, unlimited access :( Keep up the good work!

[@karenstrachan287]

Can you connect your phone to wifi? I have a limited data plan so when possible I connect to wifi at home and wherever I can.

[@marycooke240]

@@karenstrachan287 The only internet wifi access I have is because of a satellite dish on the side of my trailer. My cell phone is connected to that. This is rural America and I don't get a decent signal to use my cell phone unless it's connected to the dish. Thank you for thinking of a way to help me.

[@karenstrachan287]

I am sorry this didn't work out for you. I live in small town in western Kansas so am fortunate enough to have internet in my house. I had outrageous phone bills before I got internet.

[@leewhite339]

Ok, I have never knitted before. SO, I went out grabbed more yarn and some bamboo knitting needles. Wish me luck! If you can teach me to crochet, then I know that your awesome videos will have me knitting in no time! Thanks so much for these videos! You are awesome!🙂

[@Sophia-gy1gz]

Wow! Knitting too, can I have some of your energy 🧶

[@tracyreid1670]

OMG thank you so much for making this tutorial!!!! I've been looking for an easy poncho pattern and I already have some of this yarn. I'm going to make one :P

How do I find the written pattern? I've looked everywhere and cannot find it. thank you!

[@fel944]

Angela wright Hi fiber spider I like you teaching me how to knit I just started knitting this year I do good with vedoes I can't read pattern thank you for sharing 😶🕷🙂

[@valeriereed5401]

So far love the pattern, however I didn't see how you joined the round.

[@buskerfan]

I loooove comfy cotton blend, have you tried coboo?

[@FiberSpider]

I've seen it although I haven't tried it yet.

[@buskerfan]

Making a boho cardigan with it now, it's a bit splitty but works great with a smooth tip hook and a bit of practice.

[@laurelstieg9375]

The only store selling comfy cotton is Joanns..I have a shawl on Chiagoo needles size 8..this yarn is amazing...nice idea on the poncho but it looks snug..some kfbs or other increase along with the eyelet..😁👍an idea..use a different color marker to indicate the beginning of the round...

[@Scorpio_Love_11]

I have found it at local Walmart and Michaels as well

[@islajoyray]

thanks helping me with the poncho i love the vid to help me kit

[@joanneEJ]

I haven’t knit in so long , I’ve been crocheting my circular knitting needles have been thrown out 😢

[@StardewDrop]

Does anybody here know what size the final poncho is (In female Adult sizes)?

[@IDontSuckAtLifeakaJanis3975]

You can make it as big as you like. If it's not long enough, keep on knitting! (I made one much smaller for my pre-school age granddaughter...so I had to stop before it got too long)

[@StardewDrop]

@@IDontSuckAtLifeakaJanis3975 Thank you!

[@anitaacharya0]

Where are you got this type of needles

[@krishnans4433]

I want to knit this poncho will you please let me know what is the latgest size circular needle I am supposed to use please replyand I am waiting for it

[@FiberSpider]

@krishnans4433 the longer the better, as you will have a lot of stitches the further you go. I would say at least 36" if not more.

[@bettyclaggett2011]

Hello There'I Have A Question To Ask You Here's My Question, How Many Stitches Can You Put A Knitting Needle For Adults For Making A Shawl ? Just Asking That's All? I'd Really Appreciate It If You Reply Back To My Comment Please And Thank You!!

[@lianyihime534]

Thank you so much for your detailed tutorials! I've been searching for a project to use my 3 weight yarn. I found your video and started yesterday but I already made a mistake on one of the eyelets already!😩 Instead of going up straight it's going sideways-do you have any tips on how to fix this issue I'm having?

[@IDontSuckAtLifeakaJanis3975]

What I did was changed where I did my increases because I kept messing up with the yarn over before the stitch marker between the first and last stitches. So if you start with 68 stitches you could do your first increase at the 17th stitch and your second increase at the 51st stitch. I also did garter stitch instead of ribbing at the beginning and end... It made it easier to remember increase on knit rows not on purl and it stopped it from curling.. I'll look at the one I made later to see how I remember which stitches to go into in the body of the piece later... I'm a newbie knitter so these are newbie suggestions... Craig probably has better ideas but I'll share what I can

[@aishakhalid5607]

Can we add some pattern to this poncho while keep increasing the stitches? By the way I was searching for this type of easy and understandable tutorial, thanks for sharing

[@marycox5390]

Where did you get your circular needles from? What brand?Thank you for making this understandable. I’ve been wanting to learn. ❤️

[@rapa2894]

He says in the video they are Chiaogoo red lace. They're my favorite, too. If you're just getting started I'd recommend you get a couple of their fixed circular needles to try because the full set of interchangeable is a bit pricey, around $100-$150. Totally worth it though, Chiaogoos are so good! The individual fixed circulars are reasonably priced, around $10-$20 each depending on size. I get mine through Amazon. Hope that helps.

[@dorothymcgowan7788]

How many cast on stitches would you recommend for baby? Thank you x

[@krishnans4433]

I like your poncho very much and am knitting but one problem I am not able accommodate all the stitches What is the alternate solution Hope you will find time to help me

[@dorisjones292]

For what age

[@candygrubisic]

How do you like the join on the ChiaoGoo? Are they smooth? Do you find yourself re-tightening often or any other annoying things that can happen with interchangeables?

[@FiberSpider]

Out of all the needles I've tried I like the chiaogoo best. The cords are flexible and don't have memory (they don't stay coiled), and the joins are smooth and have yet to undo themselves. Pricey, but worth the investment in my opinion.

[@candygrubisic]

@@FiberSpider thanks so much for your reply and opinion. It's for sure what I was hoping to hear and I agree, worth the investment. :) Have a superb day!

[@333whiteraven]

I love the drape! I have seen this yarn and always avoid it because I hate knitting with cotton. I'm going to buy a skein next time I'm in the LYS. I always love listening to your videos. Other youtubers go straight to the project but you EXPLAIN everything and give us formulas. That's so helpful. Thank you!

[@doreenyau3641]

Hi Fiber spider I was wondering if this could be adapted to a four point poncho instead of the two point?

Dude out here ruining ponchos lmao

[@deborahverhoeven5663]

Thank you so much! I’d been looking for a simple pattern for a poncho like that. I’ve been knitting forever, but was always weak at following patterns. I don’t normally take to video instructions (it’s a Boomer thing), but yours were clear and concise. I looked far and wide for a simple basic pattern with no fancy-schmancy stitches or colors so I could buld on that and get creative later. By the way, I can only think of needle sizes in metric, but I did figure out that your size 10 needles are my size 6.0mm. 🙂

[@nanahussein8158]

Me too

[@adampaszti-toth5023]

Hi 🙋🏻 I love this poncho, is there a written pattern available by any chance? If it’s in description box, I’m being thick & I can’t see it 🤣

[@IDontSuckAtLifeakaJanis3975]

I was going to try and share the link but when I clicked on the teespring link to go to the site to capture it, it said my connection wasn't safe and could be vulnerable to hackers... Only sharing this info because I don't know if it's only on my end or something I should let @Fiber Spider know about.

[@halegencel9090]

You are the best!

[@yogawithval]

How do you figure out starting cast on, without actually taking it off the needles and trying it over your head... (I am really new)

[@rapa2894]

One thing you could do is knit a gauge swatch. Cast on 20-40 stitches and knit up a square. Measure how many stitches equal 1" width wise, and then use that number to calculate how many stitches you'll need for a neckline the size you want. Sorry if this isn't descriptive enough. If you don't know about gauge or swatching, search for it on KZbin. I recommend VeryPink Knits. She goes into a lot of detail.

[@yogawithval]

@@rapa2894 thanks ever so much.

[@knittinginjoy8537]

Hi lovely Pancho can’t wait to give this a try I have size 11 Knitting needles would the pattern still work with that size needle 😊

[@FiberSpider]

Technically yes. It really depends on what weight of yarn you use and what your tension/gauge is. You might want to use a thicker yarn with size 11, like a weight of 4.

[@knittinginjoy8537]

OK thank you so much for the help can’t wait to give this a try!!

[@silvialanus2103]

Lovely poncho and model! How much yarn?

About 2-3 skeins.

[@lisajastemski9311]

Where can I get the written pattern for the poncho and how many balls of lion brand comfy yarn do I need thank u

I don't have a written pattern because its more of a formula and I used about 2-3 skeins.
