Crochet poncho “Heidi”
Crochet a Cozy and Warm Poncho
In its simplicity, the poncho is both timeless and comfortable, perfect to throw on when the cold catches you off guard. Crocheting this poncho is relatively quick! It can serve as a stylish outer garment or provide that extra warmth by the fireplace. This poncho is made using our soft Dreamy Blend yarn and features an airy design. The one shown in the photos is crocheted in the colors "white," "cinnamon," and "grey," paired with a 6 mm crochet hook.
For added assistance, consider using stitch markers. If you have a wooden bead at home, you can use it for the ties at the neckline, though it’s optional.
Yarn Consumption: For size S/M (as pictured), you'll need approximately 300 grams (6 skeins) of yarn in total. As a reference, we used 2 skeins of each color in the photos. For size M/L, you'll need about 450 grams (9 skeins). Note that you may need more yarn depending on how tightly you crochet.

Here's how to do it
This comfortable and airy poncho is crocheted in rounds, from the top down. The pattern comes in two sizes: S/M and L/XL. If you want the poncho to be longer, simply add more rounds until you’re satisfied with the size—just keep in mind that you’ll need additional skeins of yarn. The techniques used in this pattern are single crochet and double crochet. / Johanna K
Sizes
- Size S/M: 60 cm long from the center of the neck opening to the longest point of the poncho's lower edge. 78 cm wide at the widest part of the poncho. Neck opening approximately 30 cm wide.
- Size L/XL: 68 cm long from the center of the neck opening to the longest point of the poncho's lower edge. 86 cm wide at the widest part of the poncho. Neck opening approximately 39 cm wide.
Important Notes:
- 1 chain at the beginning of a round does not count as 1 single crochet.
- Similarly, 3 chains at the beginning of a round do not count as 1 double crochet.
How to Change Colors in Rounds:
When crocheting a slip stitch at the end of a round, bring in the new color during the final pull-through and draw it through the stitch. Continue crocheting with the new color. You can secure the yarn end from the color change by crocheting over it for a few stitches with the new color before trimming the end (work the new color around the loose end).
If you'd like to see a video tutorial on how to change colors, check out the "Color Change in Rounds" video below.
Step 1: Using Color A (white), chain 70 stitches for size S/M, or 82 stitches for size L/XL.
Make sure the chain does not twist. If you are unsure how to make a chain (chain stitches), see the video below.
Join the chain into a ring with a slip stitch in the first stitch of the chain. If you are unsure how to make a slip stitch, see the video below.
Round 1: Chain 1. Then work 1 single crochet in the same chain where you joined the chain into a ring. Work 1 single crochet in each stitch around until the end of the round. Join with 1 slip stitch in the first single crochet you made at the beginning.
You should now have a total of 70 stitches for size S/M, or 82 stitches for size L/XL.
In the following rounds, holes will be created for the decorative ribbon of the poncho. The instructions for Round 2 are given separately for each size: the first set is for size S/M, and the second set is for size L/XL.
