Hooded Baby Poncho Pattern (Knit) – Version 4

Certainly! Here’s a simple pattern for a baby poncho:

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn
• Crochet hook appropriate for the yarn thickness
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Buttons or other closures (optional)

Instructions:

1. Chain 52 stitches.
2. In the fourth chain from the hook, make a double crochet. Double crochet in each remaining chain across. (50 double crochet stitches)
3. Chain 3, turn your work. Make a double crochet in the second stitch and in each stitch across. (50 double crochet stitches)
4. Repeat Step 3 until your work measures approximately 12 inches from the beginning.
5. To create the neck opening, work the next row as follows: Chain 3, turn your work. Double crochet in the first 5 stitches. Chain 10 (this forms the neck opening), skip the next 10 stitches, and double crochet in the remaining stitches.
6. Continue working even rows (Step 3) and odd rows (Step 5) until the poncho reaches the desired length. For a baby poncho, a total length of 18-20 inches is recommended.
7. Fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends using the yarn needle.
8. If desired, sew buttons or other closures along the edge of the neck opening to secure the poncho.

That’s it! You’ve completed your baby poncho. Adjust the size by adding or subtracting stitches and rows as needed. Feel free to get creative with color changes, embellishments, or different stitch patterns to customize the poncho to your liking.
