Easy Crochet Poncho and Photo Tutorial

This free pullover crochet poncho pattern made in Lion Brand Heartland Yarn worked up more beautifully than I could have hoped! If you have been looking for an easy crochet poncho tutorial, then try this free modern crochet pattern! The Amelia Poncho is a beginner friendly crochet pattern that starts out working in rows and then is seamed to work in the round! Don’t worry, this simple crochet project has a full photo tutorial to help you complete this free crochet pattern! Although I have classified this as an intermediate pattern I promise it is an easy crochet project!

Design Story and Inspiration

Having little ones can make getting dressed and looking cute difficult. The tee shirt and yoga pants look gets boring sometimes and I wanted a piece that was functional, but stylish. So I designed this modern crochet poncho pattern in heartland yarn! This free crochet poncho pattern is simple but the end result is an elegant, yet easy to wear, pullover crochet poncho!

I’ll be honest, I was a bit unsure of the arm hole placement but my goal for this easy crochet poncho was to keep myself warm while also having use of my arms. If I had placed the arm holes in the sides they would have had to be more open, which would mean more of a draft! So, when you are following this crochet tutorial, if you think your placement is wrong, no worries, the arm openings supposed to be closer together!

About the Yarn

Lion Brand’s Heartland Yarn is my go-to 100% acrylic yarn. This yarn comes in a beautiful array of heathered tweedy colors that are absolutely stunning! Since this is a worsted weight yarn it is great for a fast projects, but it is so soft and it creates a really nice drape! I love that this yarn is machine washable and dryable! I have thrown my heartland yarn projects in the washer and dryer so many times and they have just be come softer while still keeping their stitch definition.

How to Style your Pullover Crochet Poncho!

I paired my Amelia Poncho with simple jeans, a long sleeve top and boots! What I love about this piece is that it can be dressed up or dressed down. The way I styled this pullover crochet poncho is perfect for a casual lunch date or even an outfit to run errands in! You can also easily wear this easy collared crochet poncho over leggings with your most favorite cozy slippers around the house and still have your arms available to do some tidying up!

I think the best part about this piece is that it could be dressed up easily for a holiday party or a dinner out with friends! If you make yours in Heartland Yarn it is also a perfect kid friendly item, heartland is so durable and can be popped right in the washer and dryer!

Gauge

For this free crochet poncho pattern I am giving you two different gauges to measure. That is because I find that personally, my tension changes with different stitches and it is entirely possible that you may yours in one hook for the body of this pullover crochet poncho and need to adjust your hook for the yoke! Working in rows check your gauge to be 13 sts x 9 rows in hdc BLO for 4” x 4”. For the toke you gauge will need to be 14 sts x 16 rows sc in the round for 4” x 4”.
