Easy All Double Crochet Kid’s Hooded Poncho Crochet Pattern

The Easy All Double Crochet Kid’s Hooded Poncho Crochet Pattern is a beginner level poncho that would be perfect for gifts! This easy pattern features a hood and fringe for some added cuteness.

Let’s talk yarn! For this poncho (kid’s size 10) I used less than 2 Caron Big Cakes. I love using self-striping yarn! Not only because there are not as many ends to weave in, but also the color palette is created for me. Any worsted weight yarn will work for this pattern.

Line the hood along the top of the poncho. Line up the center back of the hood to the top center of the back of the poncho and then the end of the hood lined up 3 inches from the center front. Bunch it up slightly. Use stitch markers to keep it in place. Use the long end to sew the hood to the poncho with a whip stitch.

FRINGE

Add three 8” strands of fringe every 4th stitch along the bottom row.

Trim to your liking
