Hi Anja! I love everything you create. It makes me so happy to see a notification from you. I’m currently working on this and the poncho in a weekend. I seem to be obsessed with shawls and ponchos. And it is so awesome, you taught me a new way to crochet a poncho without the points being crooked…YAY! Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us.

Enjoy taking a look, Anja x

[@Mari-B]

It is springtime here and i love this pattern. Can i make it with a #2 yarn? I could possibly double the chain?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Mari, you can make it in whatever yarn you wish, as long as you follow the stitch multiples, and remember for finer yarn you need more stitches! Good luck and thank you, Anja x

[@nancya.nelson5810]

Turned out well! Would like to make another with DK wool but wonder if there is a way to make a less pointy poncho? Like only two posts per point, or with side points also?

[@OpheliaTalks]

The only way to find out is to experiment Nancy, do it and see how you get on, not do it yourself, but design it yourself!!! Good luck, Anja x

[@deanalandess4550]

Hi! I love this poncho and it was so fun to make. But my "seam" where my slip stitches connect look terrible when wearing it. Any suggestions for making it look better?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Maybe make sure when you do the slip stitch you pull it tighter, so it doesn't 'gap' when worn! Hope this helps Deana, Anja x

[@cricos_crea]

If I try to make it with a thinner yarn, is it enough to make a 65cm chain then put the first increase in the middle? I'd like to use some nice yarn I have, but it's for 4/4,5 mm hook. Maybe I can use 5 mm to make it looser, I can manage it being the stitch so easy. Thanks for sharing all these nice projects ❤

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes, absolutely, but do a chain that fits over your head with ease, not too big, then judge from there. Thank you cricos_crea, Anja x

[@rosabellexuereb3691]

Thanks for the great pattern. I'm making it in a chunky yarn though not as chunky as yours. I am not as fast as you 😅 so it will take longer to finish.what bothers me is that the point where I join shows. So I have a vertical line running down my poncho. Even in yours, for that matter but mine shows more cos my colours are not as forgiving. Any remedies welcome.

[@OpheliaTalks]

@rosabellexuereb3691, maybe try to join on one point, then use this as the back, just a thought. Other than that I have no other suggestions sorry. Thank you, Anja x

[@rosabellexuereb3691]

Thanks Anya. I looked up how to make an invisible join. I will try it out. Pity I have to unpick my first ten rows but it will be worth it. Might also go for a higher hook. Mine is a 6 but could try a 7 and see how it works out. Thanks again.

[@ritterwoman1]

I just finished one, I just used regular acrylic yarn, it did take me 3 weeks but I didn't work on it as much as Anya did

@@OpheliaTalks I did but I got a bit distracted at that point.

[@Vmurph]

Ophelia, How would I go about making this poncho, and have the sides (arms) be longer, without making the front and back points any longer than they are? Would adding some increases on the shoulders achieve that? Or just put extra stitches (6 instead of 4) into the front and back points?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hi Vmurph, you could try the added stitches to the points, but l'm not really sure how that will help much. I like the 'arms' the length they come out, so never really thought about changing it! Anja x
