The Yarn
I’ve had a crochet poncho in mind for this Red Heart with Love yarn forever. Sometimes there’s just not enough time in the day to make all the things (but we try)!
Teal and all varieties of blue are a fav of mine. I’m drawn in to this texture and color combination here.
Color is one of my favorite things about Red Heart Yarns. You can be sure to find any color imaginable available, that’s so helpful when you have something specific in mind!
I like how you can easily customize these rectangles for a shorter or an even longer length over your arms.
Here I have positioned the poncho so it sits back further, making the back length a little longer than the front. This is just related to how you where the neckline, so it’s easy to even up.

4/5X: 56 – 62” (142 – 158 cm)
Adjustments
To adjust the length of your rectangle, start with a stitch multiple of 3, plus 2. You can add/subtract 3 to my starting change. This will make your poncho longer/shorter on your arms and from neck to hem.
To change the height of your rectangle, adjust the number of rows you repeat. I recommend stopping after a Row 7 repeat. This will make neck hole bigger/smaller and effect the overall size.
Level
Easy
Construction
This poncho is made from two crochet rectangles that are seamed together to form the neck hole.
The number of stitches you begin with is the length of your rectangle. The number of rows you work is the height of your rectangle.

Row 7. (WS) Ch 1, hdc in same st, tlo hdc in next st and in each st until one st is left, hdc in last st, turn. (98, 101, 104, 107 sts)

If you would like to adjust the size of your rectangles, do so here. You can add or subtract rows to your liking. This measurement is from neckline down the arm, to the wrist. Once the rectangles are seamed this is where the width of the rectangle will lie on your body.
Seaming 
Lay both rectangles out in front of you. Make sure they’re both going in the same direction-that one isn’t upside down. Place one vertical and one horizontal, so they form an L shape.
Use the graphic below, match up the two blue edges, labeled A and sew.
On the WS, sew together where they meet. This will be the edge of one, and part of the last row on the other.
Match up the red edge, labeled B with the other red edge also labeled B and sew.
On the WS, sew together.
Finishing
You may consider going down a hook size here for a tighter neckline.
Join yarn with sl st anywhere on neckline. Ch 1, sc evenly around, join with a sl st to first sc. Ch 3, dc in each sc around, join with sl st to first st. Ch 1, sc in each st around, join with sl st to first st.
Cut. yarn.
Join yarn sl st anywhere on hem of poncho. Ch 1, sc evenly around, join with sl st to first st. Cut yarn and weave in ends.

Beautiful poncho. I am going to enjoy making this xxx
Thank you, I’m so glad you like it!
This is so beautiful! I ❤️❤️❤️ Your designs!
How did you sew this together? Type of stitch used and where did you put it? Ive tried several times and cant get it to look right. Thanks.
Hi Debbie, I prefer using the mattress stitch for seaming. Here is a video if you like https://youtu.be/rBHzUMXZSUc I sew under the top loops of the stitch (exactly where you would place your crochet hook) and when seaming on the sides I go under two loops which is usually the side of a stitch. I like to catch 2 loops for a sturdier seam. This can look different for each type of stitch or row. I hope this helps.
I am confused as to the final construction of this poncho. Do you have a photo or video showing how you attach the second side ?
Thanks!
Hi Laura, There is a photo included showing where to place both seams. It’s just above the “finishing” section. The first seam creates an “L” shape. The second seam is marked with a “2” and arrows showing where to place it. I hope this helps.
Hello Crystal…….I am having an extremely difficult time matching up the two panels. When I do what looks like is shown in your drawing, the front of the poncho comes down to a long point and the back of the poncho is straight across and the neckline is ridiculously wide. Shouldn’t the two pieces form a ‘triangle’ in both the front & the back? Is there a short video of the assembly of the two pieces? Thank you so much for the pattern and in advance for your assistance……Claire
Hi Claire,
Thanks for reaching out with your question. Sorry you’re having trouble. Unfortunately I do not have a video demonstration for this one. I’m going to add some more graphics with colored bars and letters to match the seams, plus a finished graphic showing the fold. Basically to wear it the longer part of the neckline goes front to back on the body. Hopefully the graphics will help you check that your seams are in the right place.
