Simple Crochet Poncho

[@kpi43]

I know that you made this video quite a few years ago, but I have to tell you that your video was such a breath of fresh air. I wanted to make a granny square poncho and each video that I came across scrambled my brain. So, I am so glad that I bumped into your video. Thank you for sharing it 😃!

[@serapugurlugil9214]

I’ve been looking for how to crochet poncho for 3 days. And settled down with your work ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ clear and easy. Making one for my granddaughter Frida Mariam coming next month from USA. Thank you 20.05.2023❤❤❤❤

[@niania7022]

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions! I have watched100+ videos and none until yours answered the problems I was having. I think I've got it now regarding the repeating corners . Thank you! Just subscribed!

[@CoachMel]

Wonderful! So glad to hear you enjoy this!

[@meganturnbull6148]

Thank you so much - I’m new to crotchet and I managed to make this poncho - it looks lovely and my daughter in law has claimed it - about to make another one for myself 😂

[@simone-clairehunter4886]

You explain this so brilliantly, thank you! x

[@CoachMel]

So glad it was helpful!

[@karenchiasson4169]

I just finished this as my first wearable. LoVe. Thank you for the easy to follow directions!

[@sistahj9231]

Thank you for this video! I just finished my poncho using Lionbrand 24/7 cotton yarn and it came out beautifully. I’m super-short so it’s very long on me to get the right sleeve length, but I wore it to a restaurant and random folks commented on how good it looked. 😁

[@MzLila-dm3bc]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. So far I have followed your video and made 3.

[@CoachMel]

Mz. lila Word that’s great! Happy it’s worked well for you!

[@rosewonder9301]

So grateful and excited abt this tutorial. I have tried many times unsuccessfully to make a poncho. I even tried 2 rectangles like some videos. This is THE BEST. Thank you so much 🧶😷

[@CoachMel]

You are so welcome! I've made the two rectangles too and find the neck to be too big.

[@rosewonder9301]

@@CoachMel With 2 rectangles I’ve added stitches around the neck to make it work🧶

Thank you Mel. I will make a lightweight also

[@CoachMel]

Great idea!

[@rohinijoshi9881]

It's explained very well, if I want to increase, how many more chains I one should take, it's explained here, what I was looking for. Thank you so much ❤

[@melissabrewer2712]

I love this. Alternatively, you could start with foundation HDC, which would make the neckline stretchier.

[@CoachMel]

Great point, I'll have to try that!

[@pamkay1756]

Hi. Very nice beautiful ponchos. I like how you give different weight options. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care.

Hi there dear, I really love your poncho tutorial especially the pattern.....but im not really a lover of pointed ponchos i would like to lnow can this be done in a round poncho with a hood please??? Love your work❤❤

[@melissabrewer2712]

Look up a granny circle and do accordingly. Add hood as desired.

[@CoachMel]

Interesting idea, I'll have to think about it and give it a try.

[@kathyrundman448]

I love the pattern however I wish I knew how to make it smaller - in a size XS adult size. Will give it a tey. Thank you.

Is 80 chains a one size fits all or how many more chains if you want it bigger or smaller. Example LG, Ex LG or 2x?

[@PeachesCream-hh8mz]

Nice pattern. What are the multiples please? Thank you.

[@josecurbelo1929]

I love your Poncho, but I need to know if I can used Caron Simple Softer 4ply.? Thanks

YES, I love that yarn, should work up nicely!

[@amandanguyen3324]

I am looking for the instructions and do not see them when going to your website can you update this to include the written instructions ?

[@CoachMel]

WOW, thank you for bringing that to my attention. It was buried on my blog page...I need to work on that. Here is the link coachmelscrochetcorner.com/2019/05/

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌵🇺🇸

You are very welcome!

[@bellemusecore]

anyone tried adding a cowlneck collar to this? look good? feel good? easy enough? i can't find a pattern with one :(

[@CoachMel]

I have not tried that. I'm going to be working on another poncho soon...I'll keep that in mind.

[@kathylovely1035]

I tried a cowl with front post back post. One row of double crochet first then fpbp.

[@charlottehyatt9601]

So to make it a 4-poiht poncho we just do 4 clusters and the 5th one would be the corner, right!

[@lucilaguadaluperamospadron4013]

Cuantos puntos son para empezar el poncho ?por favor gracias anticipadas

Why all youtube on poncho tutorial is 80 for 80 chain is too small for adult

[@catholicfemininity2126]

I an I-hook mean an inline hook for 3 weight yarn?

[@tresaalex2952]

Hi. So with every row, the number of clusters, excluding the corners increase right?

[@charlinelatour7233]

can you do 60 count for the poncho

[@rosaliemulkey153]

What is the color of the purple,off white, grey yarn, I love that color.

[@krazymammaw3040]

How many rows did u do

[@krazymammaw3040]

Nice how many chains and what size hook for children do you think please thank you so much

[@CoachMel]

Let me check...I have one at home a made a while back but don't remember how many I did...I'll get back to you!

[@krazymammaw3040]

@@CoachMel thank you so much

[@CoachMel]

Hi @mom woodward, I have a child's poncho that I made and I started with 36 as my chain. This in intended for maybe a 3 or 4 year old, it's so darn cute. I used a really chunky yarn and a big hook, I believe an N, use a hook that goes well with your yarn. You can adjust the chain using multiples of 8 plus 4.

[@krazymammaw3040]

@@CoachMel thank you for responding back to me im just now finally starting on one this is going to be mine lol and the next one . Great tutorial

[@linahdiluca7234]

To make a large, what size and how many chains?

[@CoachMel]

Hello Linah, To increase the size you have to chain in multiples of 8, so for 4 weight yarn go to 88 or 96, for 3 weight yarn go to 96 or 104. Hope this helps.

[@shellyblankenbaker5553]

Do you have a video instruction for the scalloped edges?

[@CoachMel]

Yes, it is on my channel as part 2

[@linahdiluca7234]

Keeping the same size hook 6.00m?

[@CoachMel]

I used the 6.0 (J) with the 4 weight yarn and a 5.5 (I) with the 3 weight yarn.

[@krazymammaw3040]

Love this tutorial but you left out how many rows you did on yours

[@julietkent794]

What size hook did you use please

[@charlottehyatt9601]

I love ❤️ this! So colorful! Can you increase the size without increasing the beginning chain? Can you make this a four point poncho??

[@CoachMel]

Good questions...You would have to increase your clusters to 4 or 5 dc to make it bigger without increasing the beginning chain. Yes, I would say you can make it 4 points, put a corner stitch 1/2 way between the existing corner stitches.

[@ashasharma-ts7wf]

Large or xxl may same chain dalny haa

[@creationcrochetnanny8675]

Can I I what to put hood on it

[@CREATIVEKRISHNAVLOGS]

Very nice #KrishnaCreationsknittingcrochet

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

I found out I am using an I hook, will it make a difference?

[@CoachMel]

No worries, the sizing will just be a bit different. It's "forgiving"

[@bklynqueen5928]

I need a smaller size chain. Can u tell me the diff in clusters n chain shes 12 yes old

[@CoachMel]

Chynna Doll317 you would decease by multiples of 8, chain of 72 would be 8 clusters on each side, 64 chain =7 on each side, 56 chain = 6 on each side and 48 = 5 on each side. I would probably try 56 for a 12 year old.

[@bklynqueen5928]

Thank you

[@IstiZul]

Chain 80 is for what size? Thanks

[@CoachMel]

Zul H I would say it’s a woman’s medium but you can continue to repeat the pattern if you want to make it bigger. If you need to go bigger or smaller it’s an increase of 8 or decrease of 8.

[@elgabenedicta]

Hi coach Mel, may I ask, if we would make it in a biggers size, started with, say 88 chains, then the dc clusters between the corners would be 10 clusters on each sides?

[@amandagilbert9479]

Size hook?

[@scarabeedor2]

What does J hook mean in mm ???

[@josecurbelo1929]

6.00 mm

[@jodimarie8560]

Is there a picture of it somewhere???
