Child Sized Crocheted Textured Poncho 

I found this yarn when I was organizing my yarn stash. I found this yarn and thought what can I make that I haven’t made
yet? I then realized my oldest loves purple and my youngest loves pink. I thought to myself, a poncho they can share
would be perfect.


Note: As I make my items, I write the pattern down as I work up the item. I try my best to explain what I’m doing, but I
am not perfect and I do make mistakes. If you have any questions, please let me know. I will do my best to answer.
*I suggest intermediate crocheter, this might be hard to understand for a beginner. I will try to make a video**

Size: This depends on how you like your Poncho to fit. This fits my 5 yr old who wears a size 6 and my 7 yr old that wears
a size 8, but this will last for a few years.

* Size I 5.5mm hook
* Tapestry Needle
* Caron Jumbo “Easter Basket” ( I used about 1 and half of this, but you can use more to make it longer)
