Toddler Hooded Poncho

March 15, 2016 By Corina 108 Comments

This Toddler Hooded Poncho crochet pattern is worked in 3 pieces - hood, neck, and poncho. It is crocheted both in the round and by rows. You can choose whatever color, with or without the highlights. Perfect for any toddler, to keep them warm in cold months as they walk around outside. #crochet #crochetlove #crochetlife #crochetaddict #crochetpattern #crochetinspiration #crochetgoodness #ilovecrochet #crochetgifts #crochet365 #addictedtocrochet #yarnaddict #yarnlove

I was given the challenge to create the perfect hooded toddler poncho. After searching online for WEEKS and not having much luck finding a hooded crochet poncho.. I knew I was left with no choice but to write one out.
Luckily, the person who wanted the poncho guided me with the wonderul directions of this poncho while still giving me creative freedom.
I am beyond pleased with the outcome! I am  also so very happy to share the pattern with you, for free!

      I figured out…. make sure you nite the rows. If you miss 22 to 28…or the next two, 29 to 30, your count will be off when crochet the increases to the sides…the slit.

      It seems im not the only one who got stumped here. 65 stiches across plus 32 stitches? Each round, one on each side so that has to be doubled. But what is meant by the side of the stitches? Where? Show us please.. Because there aren’t enough rows at the base of the hat from the point where the directions say to not join. I’m not getting this & I’m tempted to just modify it the way it seems right to me.

    Row 3: Crocheting over the last 2 rows, this row will be worked into stitches from round 33, bunching the last 2 rows inside the stitches. (63 SC)
    I have read it like 100 times but it still makes no sense,. I can’t understand what I am supposed to do there. Can I just skip it?

    Hi there! I am very new to crochet – just wanted to ask about the supply list – about 3 skeins total are needed for this adorable (and ONLY hooded poncho in this size that I have bee able to find! Was so excited!). Pretend for the moment that I am only going to use one colour (boring, I know), about how many yards does each skein need to be? (Sorry if this is a really silly question!). Can’t wait to try it out! 🙂

      When I say turn, I mean to rotate your piece. Instead of going back and forth, you will now work the whole way around it, including the sides of the rows you have already crocheted.

    done? I am so anxious to finish this lovely poncho for my second grandchild!

        the still does not make sense because when you follow the directions you have more than 129 stitches. A video would be nice to show us what this step is because it does not make sense. I figured how to do something else to skip this and still get the 129 stitches in the pattern

          I figured it out. So as you are move along round 32 you will make 64 SC. The 2 into the next stitch are to begin rounding the corner so you can continue to work SC into the neck of the hood as there are only the sides of stitches as of now. (We are at 66 stitches). You will be continuing round 32 to make a workable border along the neck. 3 sc on each of the D.C. rows (Brings the st count to 75) then 2 in each row of hdc will bring the count to 119. Now you will be almost back where you started. Stitch another 3 into the remaining DC rows bringing your count to 128. One more sc into the last stitch and slip into the first st of the round. 129 total and now you will have a nice even finish all the way around your hood.

      When I say turn, I mean to rotate your piece. Instead of going back and forth, you will now work the whole way around it, including the sides of the rows you have already crocheted.

    I’m also stuck on row 32 of the hood
    When it says to go up the sides is that the neck hole or the face part? And where do you join? If I join the neck hole it will fit over a toddlers head and the neck opening looks completely open in the picture
    I’ve asked 3 people and no one can figure it out
    Thanks

      At first in row 32 you work the hood part, but then you continue working around the neck part as well… joining to your first stitch. You are not closing the poncho until after you reach the “Poncho” Portion of the directions.

    I really like your pattern for the toddler poncho and am excited to make it for my granddaughter. However, I am struggling with the directions for row 32. I’m fine with the first part of ch 1, 1 sc into the next 64 sts, 2 sc in the next stitch. This is where I am confused ~ turn, working up the side of the stitched (the neck of the hood). You will put 3 sc over EACH side of the next 3 DC, 2 sc over EACH side of the next 22 hdc. Put 3 sc over EACH side of the next 3dc, 1 sc into the starting stitch. join to first sc (129 sts).

    I’ve asked a couple of more experienced crocheters, but they don’t get it either. Is it possible to post a couple of pictures that illustrate what the second part of row 32 directions should look like? Thank you for your help with this.

    I of course misread something. I am up to where you add your striped yarn, I will have no pointed peak in the front because I have no shell (2HD,chain 2, 2 HD) in front, can I add one? I realize it will not be as pointed…but can’t rip all this out! Obviously I join together here too?

You keep saying “You will be turning and working around, going down the edge/side of previous stitches/rows” but i keep getting lost at “2SC over each side of the next 22 HDC”. I just can’t picture it or figure out how to make this work. I have blown up the picture a million times trying to see b, as i am very visual, and I CAN NOT see it. PLEASE HELP- I’M SO STUCK!!!!

      Michelle, the light finally went on for me. If u miss row 19 DO NOT JOIN, then u have a good with no opening. If u didn’t join there will be a open V in the hood, at which point, you will start going down the V after you have completed 65 stitches. Hope this helps

    I am completely lost on the ‘side’ part after row 32. Like completely. In my years of crocheting I have NEVER had a pattern say crochet on each side especially without a video or picture to show what they mean.

    I’m sorry I’m just completely frustrated with this pattern right now & I promised this for a co-worker…. I really need some guidance & it appears I’m not the only one so why hasn’t something been done about this already??

      I no longer have the piece and have not had a chance to make more. When I do, I will be sure to get more photos. Until then, there isn’t much else I can do other than share the written pattern.

    For row 32, try this. Lay hood flat with pointed end going left. Looking at the opening on the right side, you will be crocheting around the opening. Pick up side farthest from you. Start on the bottom left side of hood working up,around and down to right side…

    For those struggling with row 32, try visualizing the previous rows going from your left chin up and over your head to the right side of your chin. Row 32 starts the same, but will add to this by creating stitches from your right chin backward and around your neck to your left chin again. The way to do this is to add stitches in the stems of previous stitches at the end of rows that were no longer joined together. I hope that helps some.

    Loving this so far! Just want to clarify..for the neck of the poncho, row 3, you start with 3 dc and end with 3Hdc, correct? Just wanting to make sure it’s not a typo and I should end with 3dc instead 🙂

      You bunch together and crochet over previous rounds. This will have the previous row inside of your stitches. Kind of like crocheting around a cord… it will give it a nice thick and strong edging.

    I am sure you are fed up with row 32 queries but here goes. I understand the first part and that I now have to work around the neck BUT I just cannot get 129 stitches. Pattern only states working on one lot of 22 stitches, surely there should be two lots. I have been crocheting for many years but just cannot decipher this.

      You were working back and forth around the front of the hood, but then you would around the entire opening of your crochet piece.

      Finally figured the confusion out. Where it says put 3 sc over 3 dc then 2 sc over each side of the next 22 hdc then 3 sc over each side of the next 3 dc. This all takes place in the portion of the hood that would wrap around the neck. The slit potion of the hat. The total of those stitches adds up to 62. What is missing in the directions is where it then says 1 sc into the starting stitch it should say and sc all the way around the hood into the next 66 stitches . I then get 128 stitches. Close enough for me. Hope this helped.

      Where I also originally made my first mistake was at round 19. I never read do not join and continued in the round for 31 rounds. Once I ripped it back out and started over I was determined to figure this out.

    Love this! Went out and got the yarn today, I usually use my own colors but I LOVE these, and was happy to get exactly what colors you used.I usually go by the one project at a time rule, but I cant wait to start this, the other can wait. First time using your patterns, so I hope to be able to understand. I’m a better knitter than crocheter, but LOVE to crochet more. I think I am past beginner, but we shall certainly see! Your patterns blow me away. So creative, clean lines, not your grandmas crochet!!

      This is how I wrote it out to help myself understand it.

      Row 32(a) – Chain 1. 1 single crochet into each stitch across. (65 stitches). Chain 1.

      Row 32(b) – With right side of work facing you pick up and single crochet 32 stitches evenly spaced along side of neck to middle of ‘V’. Continue along other side of ‘V’ and pick up and single crochet 32 stitches evenly spaced. This will bring you back to the first stitch of the front edge of the hood. Join with a slip stitch. (129 stitches)

      This gives you a nice single stitch edge all the way around your hood. It looks finished but the final row is an added fancy touch.

      Row 33 – Do as instructed in pattern.

      This is my second time making it and I am understanding the instructions better this time around. I really love this pattern and appreciate the designer doing this for free. I am posting this and hope it helps lessen the questions you get about this section. I hope I haven’t offended you posting this as I just hope it helps everyone. Of course this is me assuming that I have made it any clearer for anyone and we all know what happens when we assume things. Hope this helps and happy creating.

      Cheers.

        Row 32 does not add up I single crochet 64 across turn my work and worked along the edge but it doesn’t add up to the number. It seems like I am not the only one that’s having a problem with that row please explain little bit more. I actually read one of your comment at the top that you were explaining how broth 32 worked but it still does not add up.

    Round 32. I was also very confused on this round until I went back and realized I missed the DO NOT JOIN on round 19. I frogged until that step and reworked it and now it makes sense. You just work up the sides of the split, up one side then down there itthey to the initial score in that step. If 32 doesn’t make sense make sure you got step 19 correct.
