Make It Layered With The Free Stephanie Poncho Crochet Pattern

Oh my, I swear March just flew by! Perhaps I’m still expecting March to be like March 2020 where they last about 3 months but last month was just gone in a blink of an eye. So here I am, in April, wondering what patterns to design for May and excited to share the first pattern of April – the Stephanie Poncho crochet pattern.
This week’s new design is inspired by one of my favorite lines that I haven’t used in a while – the Stephanie Line. With warmer weather heading our way here in SoCal I wanted to make something light and easy to wear, something that would be the perfect layering accessory. I thought the very approachable and easy to make Stephanie Line with it’s really open stitch repeat would be perfect for the light part… but what to make… what to make.

That’s where the Whitney Poncho popped into my head. For that poncho design I created a very basic large rectangle shape and then seamed up one edge to make a very dramatic, drapey, and open poncho design. The idea was perfect and ready for the making – combine the two inspirations and make the Stephanie Poncho. And don’t you just love the results?
Like the Whitney Poncho, the Stephanie Poncho is worked in one large rectangle. In the notes you can see that the multiple of this pattern is 2 (just add 1 for the chain row) and you can make this larger or smaller as you’d like. And the row repeat is easy as well, I you can make it shorter so your poncho is a little less asymmetrical. Below I even included a photo of the poncho before I seamed it up, so you can see that it makes a rather gorgeous shawl as well. Oh, and did I mention the seaming could be open or solid? Yep, this beauty is full of customization options for you to enjoy.

She is an easy pattern and I really hope you like ‘er. I really had a fun time making it and I love to use Coboo, I have some other ideas for more Coboo to use in the future. Have you used it? How do you feel about that yarn?

As always to be kind to each other, wash your masks, and stay safe friends <3 <3

Please note: I was provided Coboo yarn by Lion Brand Yarn for the purposes of designing the Stephanie Poncho crochet pattern, with compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I honestly can say I do enjoy this yarn. I’ve used Coboo on both Kieran Cardigan and the Marguerite Top and it’s a fantastic yarn (just go slow and it is less splitty).

This is basically a hdc2tog and a ch 1 counting as one st. When you work back into this st, you work into both the hdc2tog and the ch 1.
• Trc (treble crochet cluster): yarn over twice, insert hook into specified st, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over twice, insert hook into next st, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, pull through all 3 loops still on your hook, ch 1. This is basically a tr2tog and a ch 1 counting as one st.
• This pattern is worked in one piece, row by row, until you get to the specified length. The piece is then folded in half and seamed along one edge to create the neck hole.
• The first 10 rows will measure 4.25” high; use this while blocking.
• Blocking is suggested for this pattern. 
• The ch 1 at the beginning of the rows does not count as a stitch.
• The multiple of this pattern is 2 (+1 for the ch row) if you’d like to make it larger or smaller.
• In the photos the size is medium and was made in Coboo by Lion Brand Yarn in the color Yellow.

Seaming
Fold your piece in half lengthwise and use your stitch markers to mark the center 15”inches toward the open end (this will make your hole 30” total), this is your neck hole. Then line up the hdc and tr sections going toward the open end. Using your preferred method of seaming, sew together the matching row ends from the stitches you marked toward the open end, going as far as you’d like or even leave open sections (as the sample shows). Fasten off, weave in your ends. Feel free to make the neck hole larger or smaller as you’d like.
