An easy to Crochet Gift Poncho that is just a few hours to make for yourself. This poncho is a rectangle unit that is strategically sewn to create the point. The point is only on one side. You can wear the poncho so the point is at the back, side or front. You can style it up any way you wish.

The poncho, due to using two strands at one time can create a marled effect. For all sizes, 6 balls of Caron Simply Soft are required. It is marled, meaning two strands at one time. 3 of one colour, 3 of another. For visual interest, I used 3 balls of Caron Simply Soft Tweeds and 5 balls of Caron Simply Soft Ombre. Ombres are smaller ball sizes. I just needed a few inches of the 5th ball. You may need 6 balls of Ombre if you are doing the x-large size ahead.
My version turned out pretty awesome.

I'm having trouble figuring out how the fold works. Do I lay the rectangle flat and then fold the right side for a triangle on the right and match the fold from the let to that? Thanks
Marina King says
lay the rectangle flat in front of you, take the right end (short) side fold it to the top of the left (long) side edge, you should end up with just one point and straight in the back.

Thanks I folded a piece of paper based on your instructions and I understand it now. 🙂
Marina King says

Is there a slower version of this? I’m doing fine, but would like to follow the scallop edge in slow mo, having a little trouble, thanks, Denise

You can slow down any video on youTube... Click the GEAR on the bottom right of a YT player window. You can change the speed there. 😀

I love the look of this poncho. The diagonal stitch effect is so nice. I would love to try this in Bernat velvet. Does anyone know if using only one end of velvet would work with this pattern?
