This classic poncho pattern with a turtle neck was designed for junior and adult sizes. An elegant make to stay warm in mildly cold weather, perfect for early spring and autumn. In my design, I added a turtle neck variant especially thinking of the windy weather of the North of England :)

Skill level and terms:

• Beginner: this pattern only requires you to know common stitches.
• The pattern is offered in PDF version with a file for each UK and US terminology versions.

Materials:

• 4mm/G-6 crochet hook.
• Double Knit/Light worsted/8-ply yarn (recommending acrylic or a combination of acrylic with wool or bamboo).
• You will also need two stitch markers, a tapestry needle to sew in the ends, and a pair of scissors.
• Optionally, you can use a pompom maker to add some cute poms to the finished piece.

This pattern originally uses four colours, and a total of 5 skeins were used for the piece in the illustration (one for the neck and half of the navy colourway, and four to complete the colour repeats). After completing the poncho, only about a third of each skein had been used up, so it’s the perfect project to use up bits of scrap yarn.

This pattern is free, I am available at all times to receive any comments or suggestions. I would love to see your finished pieces too!
