Best yarn to use for this bobble stitch crochet poncho tutorial?

  • Cotton yarn: Well, I made this Bubble gun poncho with 100% cotton yarn DK weight that will give you a breezy look and is lightweight and perfect to wear for the fall season. Moreover, you will feel comfy on your skin.
  • Wool yarn:  if you guys want them to be a bit warmer and great for winter, just swish up with 100 % wool yarn or wool blend yarn in DK weight that will keep you toasty warm for freezing cold days.
  • Acrylic yarn:  polyester fiber yarn is budget-friendly yarn That  I love to use in many of my crochet projects. They give more flexibility and stretchiness to the garment and keep the heat in your body so you won’t get cold easily in the winter.

Bubble gum texture stitch crochet poncho free pattern instruction.

Front panel.

Pick up a crochet hook size 4.0 mm and Start off by making a slip knot. Then make 60 chains for small to Large.

Foundation chain multiple of 4

size xl and 2xl 72 chains

size  3xl and 4xl  84 chains

Row 1: make dc into the next chain from the hook and in each chain across until the end of the row.

Row 2: ch 1 turn, sc into first 2 sts. *Bobble stitch into next stitch, sc into next 3 sts*. Repeat between * and * until you have 3 or 4 sts left, then make sc in each of the last 3 or 4 sts.

Row 3: ch 1 turn, dc in each stitch until the end of the row.

Row 4: ch1, turn, *dc in next st, ch1,skip1 st then dc in next st* repeat this * to * until the end of the row.

Row 5: ch 1 turn, *1dc in each stitch and 1dc in chain space* repeat * to * until the end of the row.

Note…update.

If you see the photo in the front panel of the bobble stitch, if you end with row 5, there will be no space, but I ended it with space with row 4 by accident.

And I went with it. I am lazy to ribbed it off, so you guys can either do both 2 options end with row 5 as the pattern or end with row 4 like in the photo it will all come out beautiful.

Row 6: and beyond, Keep Repeating rows 2-5 until you get 16 inches long.

After we get 16 inches long of the bobble stitch front panel, we will continue to make them longer for the non-bobble part by using another crochet stitch.

Row 1. ch2, then make* 1dc in chain space of the previous row and 1dc on each st*  repeat this * to * across until the end of the row.

Row 2. ch2, then 1dc in each stitch across until the end of the row. ( back loop only)

Row 3 and beyond. repeat row 2 until we get 32 inches long. and fasten off.

After we finish the front panel, set aside and wait for assembly.

Back panel.

Assembly the poncho.

Lay 2 pieces in flatted in L shape, then use one end of the back panel to attach to the front end of the front panel by sewing with your favorite method.

Pic below.

After attaching the front of the poncho already, we are now going to fold each end to create the back of the poncho and attach them by sewing. see pic below.

How to assemble and seaming crochet poncho.

Now when you try it on, and it slips off your shoulder if the open neck is too wide for you, this problem has happened to me.

If the poncho does not slip off your shoulder when you guys try it on, then you do not need to do it.

we will sew a bit further up, about 3-4 inches up from the back panel. see pic below.

Now enjoy your new poncho.

Happy crocheting.

Hi. I’m crocheting this. And I noticed the same as another lady. That if we are ending with row 5. There are no spaces. Are we not supposed to be ending on Row 5 for the bubble gum panel?

HI Gwen, yes in the bobble front panel, I was ending row 5 and 4 by accident so it have space and it come out ok, and i am so lazy to go to ribbed it off and i went as it is.

Yes you could end with row 5 with no spaces it would be more beautiful, but if u like like it look in the photo end it with row4.
