This poncho with hoodie was a lot of fun to make. I would recommend making it a size smaller than what it calls for as it runs big. Ensure to measure around your neck (like wearing a low necklace), not shoulders as it’ll make the poncho too big. Remember yarn stretches. You can always use Front/Back post to make it smaller around the neck. Also you can add a long rope and pompoms for the hood to pull it tight. Click here for link. This pattern is in Spanish but easy to follow based on the pattern. It’s only triple crochet stitches and some fans. We also made matching fingerless gloves to match. |

This poncho was so much fun to make. We’re calling it our “Traveling Poncho” as a few members added pieces to it. It’s 56 granny squares. You can make your grannies any way you want. It is the same poncho in both pictures; the only difference is that the model is wearing the poncho off one shoulder. You can also wear the poncho side-ways and it’ll give you a different look. We modified this poncho combining various other granny ponchos and a 1960’s pattern idea we found. You can make this easily by doing four rows of 9 – 11 granny squares and three rows of four granny squares. Combine them and saw together. Extremely easy assembly. Look online for any granny squares and make as many as you want.

This was a great poncho which included “fantasy” stitches for the bottom. We also modified it slightly making it shorter (instead of having it go all the way to mid-thigh and added less pompoms, it’s up to you.) Though this pattern is in Portuguese, it is easy to understand and follow visually. |

We made this Poncho with and without a collar. It was so easy to crochet as it’s basically four granny squares. I would recommend to be careful with the size of granny squares you make as it will get much bigger once you up it together. For a size large/X-Large approximately 10-12 rows of granny’s will be fine. Ensure to join it with holders to test it out before going larger.

Just in time for the holiday season this cute little basket–bag can be used for many purposes. One trick we discovered was to ensure not to “increase” stitches in the corners or the basket will turn into a sort of purse as you see in this picture. Regardless, it’s still a wonderful project to make and looks fabulous in variegated yarn as well. Click here for the video tutorial
Here is a jumbo size basket from Jayda in Stitches. Same basic pattern but in a jumbo size. Both patterns are perfect for beginners and fun for any level.

This asymmetric sweater is will take on a different look depending on the yarn you use. In this case, we also changed the pattern slightly to provide full length arms to the sweater. Though the instructor considers it a modified poncho or a Ruana as it’s known in Peru, this sweater looked more like a “varsity jacket” by the time it was done. We also added toggle buttons to the neck to hold it closed. Note that the sweater will also be bluckier and look more like a jacket if you use chucky yarn #6. If you want it to be more like a blouse, use thinner yarn like a #3. Note: this video is in Spanish. Click here for the tutorial. |
