I don't know which is more adorable the model or the poncho! They're both sooooo cute! Since this pattern is rated "easy" several of these could be done in different colors-maybe even some ombre yarn- to match existing wardrobe pieces. My children are adults and I don't have anyone to make one of these for yet but that day is hopefully coming so I'll tuck this one away for safe keeping!!!

Hi Rosalee, We transferred a lot of our older patterns to a newer template, and so a lot of our older patterns had images that are too small for this template. We're in the process of finding and replacing these images so please be patient with us! Julia, editor for AllFreeCrochet

How adorable! Ponchos are an ongoing trend right now and everyone is wearing them... Even babies!

I absolutely love this idea and the pattern is so simple and easy to do. I love the color, as well. I plan on making this for my granddaugher and then making a larger one in the same color for my daughter so they can have matching ponchos! Bright pink would look great, as well.

Adorable baby pattern. Shell be just like mom with her grownup poncho. The orange is really bright. A pink variegated yarn would be so much cuter for the little lady. Looks like a no frills pattern as it is a one size fits most babies. Looks very easy to make and shouldnt take much time.

I think that this crochet pattern is perfect for little ones - sometimes it's too hard to get a proper sweater on someone who is always running!

I had problems with this pattern. The count on the head opening was not even for some reason. I ended up without a right side or it was not clear enough when to stop or turn to put the shoulders in the right place. I went over and over it. Did anyone else have a problem with the 19 stitches being NOT in the center. What was I missing?

I am confused about this pattern as well...I have been crocheting for a while but mostly blankets...This looked easy for a garment but it is leaving me slightly confused when it gets to the Back part. Can someone please explain how this is supposed to join and where? Also after joining the front and back are you going to be working it in the round from that point...maybe this was a bad pattern to start with....

You work the front, then work the left shoulder. Then you reconnect and work the right shoulder. This makes the neck gap. After these are done, you work the back by connecting the left and right shoulders. hope that helps!

Wowowee! I love that orange poncho. That's gonna look great too for adults in the same color. I will pin this baby poncho. Thanks for the pattern that is made available on the front page. Very convenient.

It's cute but I don't see how you would need 10 1/2 ounces of yarn to make something that small.
