We have poncho patterns for both children and adults. There are many ways you can use a poncho. For example, you can wear it as a light jacket for the mild season or over a jacket for the cooler season. A poncho can also be a nice addition to an everyday look, for example over a dress or over a shirt and a pair of jeans. Most ponchos are sleeveless and can be worn with a wide variety of looks, both for everyday and festive occasions.

Among our patterns you will also find some ponchos with long sleeves, the so-called poncho blouses. These work great as a complement to knitted sweaters. The possibilities with ponchos are endless. But almost the same for all types of ponchos is that they will add warmth to the upper body and can be worn all year round.

Before you start knitting a poncho, you should consider what function it will have. Will it be worn in winter or summer? Will it be worn for everyday or festive occasions? In that case, the choice of yarn type will play a role. For example, if you want to knit a cosy poncho for winter use, you might want to choose a pattern that uses a warm wool yarn. The thickness of the yarn type will also play a role in determining whether the poncho will be thick and warm or more airy and light.

Among our yarns, you'll find a wide range of different colours. This is where you have the opportunity to personalise your poncho. You can undoubtedly find the yarn colours that you like best and get a unique and personal poncho that suits you.

If you find it difficult to choose just one yarn colour, you can also choose to combine several beautiful colours. That way you can knit a multi-coloured poncho in stripes or a nice pattern, for example.

By knitting a poncho, you can learn different knitting techniques. For example, you can knit a poncho in garter stitch, raglan, cables, bobbles or lace. You can also choose to knit a beautiful poncho with stripes or patterns. It's entirely up to you what you choose. One thing's for sure: there's plenty to choose from in our selection of free patterns.

One of our poncho patterns is this super pretty and cute poncho for women called Casual Diamond. The poncho is knitted in DROPS Sky yarn, which consists of 74% Alpaca, 18% Polyamide, 8% Wool. The yarn is lustrous and durable, and the combination of wool and alpaca means that the yarn has a soft and light feel, while also being durable and long-lasting.

If you love knitted ponchos, you'll probably also love knitted shawls. A knitted shawl (like a poncho) is a cosy and warm project that many knitters try their hand at. Both experienced knitters and beginners can knit a shawl, and knitted shawls can be worn regardless of the season and outfit. What's more, a homemade shawl can last for years - even generations.

We hope you are now ready to get started with your own knitted poncho :-) 

Enjoy!
