The Penny Lane Poncho Pattern

I have the cutest “mommy and me” set to share with you guys! I released this pattern last year to my Etsy and Ravelry shops and i’m slowly migrating some of those patterns here, free on my blog! The Penny Lane Poncho is written in both adult and child sizes! I had so much fun taking these photos with Penny last year. The adult pattern can be found below. Click here to check out the child sizes also free on my blog!

I used Lion Brand Rewind yarn which is a really unique and fun yarn to work with! It has a summery and beach type vibe to me. The yarn is bulky weight so the poncho works up really quickly but still has a lightweight feel to it! 

It’s also beginner friendly! You basically just crochet one giant rectangle and make 2 small seams to sew it together and that’s it!

Seaming:

Fold your work in half, with row 1 at the bottom and your last row at the top. Sl St the top of your poncho to form the head opening. Insert your hook through the outer loops only of your first and last St of your last row and pull your yarn through, creating 1 Sl St. Continue slip stitching down the row, until you are approximately half way across. Tie off.

Join yarn at the bottom corner of Row 1 with a Sl St. Sl St up the side of your poncho, approximately 2/3rds of the way. Leave the rest un-worked to create the arm opening.
