looking for EASY poncho pattern

[happymollie]

Hi, I'm a beginner at crocheting. My daughter wants me to make a poncho for her. She wants the open weave type. I've looked for an easy (free) pattern but can't find one. Can anyone help?

This was my first poncho and it's VERY easy and quick to work up and it's actually my daughter's favorite out of all of them I've made since.

I'm looking for a fairly easy poncho pattern too, but in an adult size and more for keeping warm than the mesh style allows. I have a belly that I'd rather like the poncho to cover up! lol

Thanks for anyone who can help!

Hugs,

Pam

If you decide to do the Posh Poncho and get stuck on Row 8, please feel free to e-mail me here:

A lot of beginners have a problem with the clusters (which is understandable...I was the same way myself not too long ago) and I would be happy to explain it to you.

I LOVE the posh poncho!! That would be great for a kiddo...

 

I saw a pattern for a "plus-size" poncho somewhere, as soon as I find it again I'll post it.

Thanks for your responses. I will try the pattern suggested. Rachel, I definitely will contact you if I get lost (which I probably will). I get confused and intimidated if there are too many directions. I know you have to just start and be working it and try to figure it out, but if I read over a pattern and it looks confusing I get nervous . Even though I am a beginner I have a house full of yarn for all the "projects" I want to make. I see from this board that that is "normal". Thanks again.

One poncho I made came from a shawl pattern.

I used the "Sweet February" shawl pattern for Marlo's Crochet site. I did about 30 rows with worsted weight and a K hook.

I made 2 matching pieces and then sewed them together and left an opening for the head.

Wear it one way - and it's a boat neck look. Turn it the other way and it's a V-neck front and Back.

I love this shawl pattern! It's so quick and easy and you can use any yarn and hook to do it! Thanks Marlo!!!

 

BTW - I love ponchos!

They say " I'm too busy to be bothered with sleeves, but I'm delicate and need to be kept warm"

Is this the + size poncho you're trying to find?

I just made a very simple poncho and posted the picture of it on my blog. The link is there also.

Thanks for pointing that pattern out, Marlo. I don't have the link to it in my directory yet!:wha She has some gorgeous freeform on her site as well.
