How to crochet a knit-like poncho?

This crochet one-rectangle poncho or you called it a wrapcho lol.. is made from just one long rectangle.

Fold them up in half and sew the side to create a shoulder, and that’s it; you’re done.

Now let me break it down into 3 easy steps for you.

• Step 1: make the band; we will crochet a ribbed band as long as you like but remember this band will fold in half, so the longer you make the band will dive by 2. So just make it wrap your shoulder and give more length for loose fitting.

• Step 2: make the body part; after we get your desired length of the ribbed band now, we are going to crochet the body part of the poncho by crocheting the knit stitch on top of the ribbed band. And be creative; you can pick any of your favorite crochet stitches to add to it doesn’t need to be exactly like the pattern.

• Step 3: assemble; when we got the body part of the poncho, now time to seam the poncho; fold them in half, then sew on the top to create the shoulder; that’s all we did!

Stitch used in this knit look poncho crochet pattern.

Crocheted a poncho in this pattern needs some basic stitches, which is beginner friendly for less experienced crocheters.

• Half double crochet in the back loop: is used for creating the ribbed band for the bottom part of the poncho.
• Crochet linen/moss stitch: which definitely gives the poncho kind of look like a knit project.
• Single crochet in the back loop: This is used to create the strip line between the body part of the poncho.

Yarn for this poncho pattern.

Cotton yarn: Love you to the moon poncho pattern I use cotton dk weight yarn/3 light. I always love to work with cotton yarn because they have a beautiful drape and great weight that give to the whole crochet garment.

Acrylic yarn and Wool yarn: also work great for this free crochet poncho pattern. They are more stretchy and lightweight than cotton yarn, and a plus is they keep you warm in the winter months.
