Granny Square Poncho for a Toddler par Two girls... being crafty

Materials: I used 4 colors of yarn for Junebug’s poncho - all from the Caron Simply Soft collection. Off White / Soft Pink / Pistachio / Camel

Round 1: Off White Round 2: Soft Pink Round 3: Pistachio (Rows 1-3 are made using a basic granny square method. For super-awesome instructions on granny square making, check out the Purl Bee’s step-by-step tutorial.) Round 4: One round of sc in each stitch using Off White Round 5&6: 1 sc in each st using Camel In total, you’ll need 16 squares to make a toddler-sized poncho. My squares were about 4” each when finished. I estimate that this would fit a toddler from 12 months to a 2T size–and obviously the pattern is totally adjustable based on the size you desire. If it’s for an older child, just add an extra row or two when creating your granny squares. Junebug is a teeny toddler–she’s 19 months old and still wearing 12 month sized clothing. I’m sure this poncho will fit her next winter, too I used a version of the slipstitch method (using Caron Simply Soft in Camel) to join the squares in this layout. Once they’re joined in the «seven» shape, use this schematic to join the poncho into its final shape. Once the poncho has the structure in place, I crocheted one row of single crochet around the neck opening to make it stronger and more cohesive. I finished the bottom of the poncho by single crocheting two rows around (again, to make it stronger and more cohesive) and then used a basic shell stitch for some girly flair.
