Hi Anja! I love everything you create. It makes me so happy to see a notification from you. I’m currently working on this and the poncho in a weekend. I seem to be obsessed with shawls and ponchos. And it is so awesome, you taught me a new way to crochet a poncho without the points being crooked…YAY! Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us.
I appreciate the way you shared other versions made by your testers(I assume). So often they are not highlighted but contribute so much to the creation process.
Thank you, Anja, yet another WONDERFUL creation. I have just ordered my yarn. I LOVE variegated yarn... I get very excited to get to the next colour and see how is works with the rows above and below x I am also v. impatient, so large hooks are wonderful for me..... I will make this over the Christmas period, whilst relaxing (hopefully! LOL x) xx
Totally random comment.... Your lipstick is really pretty Anja. Perfect shade to wear with your new poncho! And I know that the grammar police are cringing.🤣😂
Hello Anya, Glad to see your lovely crochet patterns. I met a young lady named Anna years ago in Arkansas. Her fiance was a Student at Harding University. We became friens ~Our names are the same! Hope you have a Merry Christmas
Loved it this is the second video of ur poncho I am watching back to back, it’s very inspiring, is there any chance we can get a written version of this to make it easier for beginners like me …thanks n keep up ur good work… stay blessed APPRECIATIONS FROM INDIA.😊
I’m so glad you like my tutorials, I don’t have a written pattern for this one but I do have my patterns listed here on my website, www.opheliatalkscrochet.com/ophelia-talks-crochet-patterns you will find all sorts of items including ponchos, shawls, blankets and the popular windspinner! Enjoy taking a look, Anja x
Ankara…I have the neckline done, but could you tell me the repeat..I have to tear out because it won’t go over my head…I used a sr yarn….guess that’s why?….love this poncho….
Turned out well! Would like to make another with DK wool but wonder if there is a way to make a less pointy poncho? Like only two posts per point, or with side points also?
Nice poncho.😊 I have never made anything in super chunky before. The yardage always puts me off! By the way, what and where is the monument thing at the end of the video? 😊
Mari, you can make it in whatever yarn you wish, as long as you follow the stitch multiples, and remember for finer yarn you need more stitches! Good luck and thank you, Anja x
Thanks for the great pattern. I'm making it in a chunky yarn though not as chunky as yours. I am not as fast as you 😅 so it will take longer to finish.what bothers me is that the point where I join shows. So I have a vertical line running down my poncho. Even in yours, for that matter but mine shows more cos my colours are not as forgiving. Any remedies welcome.
@rosabellexuereb3691, maybe try to join on one point, then use this as the back, just a thought. Other than that I have no other suggestions sorry. Thank you, Anja x
Thanks Anya. I looked up how to make an invisible join. I will try it out. Pity I have to unpick my first ten rows but it will be worth it. Might also go for a higher hook. Mine is a 6 but could try a 7 and see how it works out. Thanks again.
If I try to make it with a thinner yarn, is it enough to make a 65cm chain then put the first increase in the middle? I'd like to use some nice yarn I have, but it's for 4/4,5 mm hook. Maybe I can use 5 mm to make it looser, I can manage it being the stitch so easy. Thanks for sharing all these nice projects ❤
Hi! I love this poncho and it was so fun to make. But my "seam" where my slip stitches connect look terrible when wearing it. Any suggestions for making it look better?
I do mention at the start what hook size is recommended for the yarn I used and the actual hook I used as I wanted my poncho to be a loose stitch, however you can use any size of hook that gives you the best feeling fabric you want, thanks for watching, Anja x
Watch the video please Susan, I do tell you how long the beginning chain should be, so no matter what yarn you use you should be able to work it out, don't forget for a flowy effect use a hook bigger than normal. Anja x
Ophelia, How would I go about making this poncho, and have the sides (arms) be longer, without making the front and back points any longer than they are? Would adding some increases on the shoulders achieve that? Or just put extra stitches (6 instead of 4) into the front and back points?
Hi Vmurph, you could try the added stitches to the points, but l'm not really sure how that will help much. I like the 'arms' the length they come out, so never really thought about changing it! Anja x
Hello, I’m a bit confused, how many chains should I have? I read transcript 52+42= 94? But when I do my 24 dc’s on the other side I still have a lot of unused chains? And 52 chains linked to a circle is not large enough for my head😢. I’m using 4 wt yarn and 5.5 mm hook. What am I Missing? I can’t wait to get started!
I started making chain of 52 but so small circle for my head😂 so how many chains exactly same size as you made it. Pls share so that i can follow exactly, thanks and regards
Hi Nana, I really couldn't tell you, you need to make some chains and make sure it goes over your head, add a couple for ease, and go from there. Thank you, Anja x
I’m a beginner and need some help. As I continue each round the first points aren’t lining up though the midpoints are fine. Any thoughts as to what I’m doing wrong?
Without seeing it it's a bit difficult to say what you've done wrong, have you got the right amount of stitches and points?!! I'd be inclined to frog and start again, maybe watch the video again too. Thank you is6684, Anja x
Hello, did you make it in chunky? If so, Could I ask how much you used? I am ordering yarn but the one I like is in 400g so only want to order what I need. Thank you
Oh no! are you in the Facebook group? Ophelia Talks Crochet…you can post a photo of your poncho there and our helpful moderators can give you advice. Anja x
Sorry! I like to show the label, sometimes it's bigger than one can show at a time so l need to move the ball around. I will endeavour to keep it still in future Paula, Anja x
A quick and easy pattern. Love the tip for keeping the chain from twisting.
Thank you for watching Carolyn, Anja x
Must try! Love the tip for getting a chain that isn’t twisted at your beginning.
All are lovely. Great job everyone!!! Really like the color Angel used & the tassels.

Very nice!
Lindas peças, realmente de bom gosto !

In a day? My poncho is taking two weeks as of today.
Well, it really does depend how long you have available to crochet of course! Thank you Susan, Anja x
😅 I know! And Im retired, but they do work up pretty quickly and easily.
With chunky yarn it will be very quick, for sure 😉

Me too
How tall are you? I'm making ponchos for 3 granddaughters from 4"11 too. 5'9
I'm quite tall Lynn, you basically make it as long as you want! Thank you, Anja x
I just finished one, I just used regular acrylic yarn, it did take me 3 weeks but I didn't work on it as much as Anya did
As long as you enjoyed making it, and it gave you some precious 'me' time, then it doesn't matter how long it took. Thanks for watching, Anja x
Turned out well! Would like to make another with DK wool but wonder if there is a way to make a less pointy poncho? Like only two posts per point, or with side points also?
The only way to find out is to experiment Nancy, do it and see how you get on, not do it yourself, but design it yourself!!! Good luck, Anja x
It's beautiful,I love the color. I think you should have done the video with a lil bit bigger yarn an needle, it's hard to see. Thank you
Next time Cherie! Anja x
Nice poncho.😊 I have never made anything in super chunky before. The yardage always puts me off!
By the way, what and where is the monument thing at the end of the video? 😊
It is springtime here and i love this pattern. Can i make it with a #2 yarn? I could possibly double the chain?
Mari, you can make it in whatever yarn you wish, as long as you follow the stitch multiples, and remember for finer yarn you need more stitches! Good luck and thank you, Anja x
This is absolutely lovely!
💙💜💚 Will there be a written pattern available for purchase? The yarn color ways are fabulous! 💙💜💚 Decisions, decisions! 😂
Jane the pattern is free on the blog on our website. Link in video description

Hi! I love this poncho and it was so fun to make. But my "seam" where my slip stitches connect look terrible when wearing it. Any suggestions for making it look better?
Maybe make sure when you do the slip stitch you pull it tighter, so it doesn't 'gap' when worn! Hope this helps Deana, Anja x
What sitch is used to finish the project?
No mention of size hook to use with the bulky yarn for this pattern. It would be helpful to know
I do mention at the start what hook size is recommended for the yarn I used and the actual hook I used as I wanted my poncho to be a loose stitch, however you can use any size of hook that gives you the best feeling fabric you want, thanks for watching, Anja x
Beautiful. How much yarn is required to make a poncho your size? Great tutorial. 😊
I do say in the video how much I used Adrienne, please watch again, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks I did but I got a bit distracted at that point.
Beautiful I would like to make this in chunky yarn what size hook do you recommend and how many chains would I start with thankyou

It’s beautiful but I never use chunky yarn. I don’t even think I own any ☺️🧶
How many skeins of yarn did you use? I can’t wait to start my own 😊
Hello Chekac462, I do tell you in the video how much and what supplies are needed, please watch again. Thank you, Anja x
I’m going to make one for someone worsted #4 how many cakes will I need she’s your size thanks in advance 😊😊😊😊

How many chains can I make if I am using a four worse yard with a 4.5 needle
Hi Nana, I really couldn't tell you, you need to make some chains and make sure it goes over your head, add a couple for ease, and go from there. Thank you, Anja x
How much total chunky yarn for this project. I have some want to make sure it’s enough before I start.
