Looking for a cozy and stylish solution to keep your little one warm and safe in their car seat? Look no further than our “Car Seat Poncho” pattern, designed by a mother for her own baby.

Featuring a convenient button-up design, this poncho is perfect for draping over your child’s car seat and for wearing as a jacket-style poncho when out and about. The pattern includes two separate front panels that are overlapped and attached to create a front flap, which continues as one flat piece. The hood is worked on after the main body is complete, making for a seamless and comfortable design.

With buttons up the center for easy access to the car seat straps, and additional buttons on the side for armholes when your child is out of the car seat, this pattern is both practical and stylish. And while knowledge of FPDC is recommended, this pattern is fast and easy to follow, making it a great choice for both beginner and experienced crocheters.
