    Have been looking for a poncho pattern to make for myself and a few other female friends and family members. I came upon this one and I have found the one that I will be using. I love the look and the simplicity of it. The use of different colors will give each poncho its individuality. Your tutorial was extremely easy to follow and I am so glad I stumbled upon this pattern. Thank you so much.

    I am falling in love with this poncho! But I hope you don't mind me giving some tips that helped me make it🙂. It took me 3 tries to finally master it, and that is because the last few times, I dropped a few stitches, and I am not too sure why. Half double crochets, an easy stitch, an easy stitch for many, but for this girl, I know how to do a HDC stitch, but I don't know what happened when I got to the hood part, and one side had less stitches than the other. So, this is what I did to make sure everything was even. Before I would start a new row, I would count 10 stitches in and place a stitch marker inside that 10th stitch. I would continue to do this until I reached the end. When I had 10 stitches left, that is when I knew I was right on track. Also, if you don't have this beautiful multi-colored yarn this sweet lady that did the video for this poncho, and you want to change yarn color. To keep my knots from coming undone, I added a dot of Aleene's clear fabric glue to them. Meaning, you would do the first step as if you were tying your shoe, then add the dot of glue, then tie it in a knot. None of my knots came out, and then when I did the boarder around the poncho, I knew that they were extra secured. PS, I used a 4-ply yarn since it's winter, but I am planning on making a summer one with the yarn that was used in this video. So, thank you so much sweet Lucky Platypus lady for sharing this pattern with us, and I hope you were ok with me sharing some tips that helped me be able to make this beautiful poncho🙂. Happy Holidays to you😊!

    Your channel seems amazing! I am making this right now and I'm only starting my back rows so I have a lot left. I don't have any light yarn so I used medium and so far it seems like a great blanket poncho to chill with at home. Hopefully I will find out how to make a pocket to make it extra good to wear at home when sick and needing a small pack of tissues. I will probably manage to mess my poncho up because I'm a beginner and honestly not the brightest but I'm so excited about it so far, thank you!

      Measure the length and width of your daughter and do the start chain to the width and the amount of rows to the length you measured. Keep double checking as you work up to make sure fits.

    Love this and love when I come across an Aussie on here doing tutes...Q though...do us Aussies do a decent yarn at all, cause American yarn, delightful as it is, can be FO pricey.
    I buy online from Craft2U cause they tend to have a better range than spotlight.

      Our decent yarns are way too expensive here on Aus. I only buy from spotlight and lincraft when on sale and I spin my own yarn (which I therefore get lovely yarn if I do say so myself😊)
      Otherwise I buy from Hobium in Turkey as cheaper, nice range and free postage when you spend x amount.

      I'm making it with #5 chunky also because thats what I have enough of on hand. I started out with hdc but with the #5 yarn it was to thick so I'm now making it using double crochet. I crochet 6 sts times 10 rows and it came to 5 inches, So I adjusted the directions to 8 rows (instead of 10) DC for the same 5 inches.
      Hope this helps someone.

    I have another question… I’ve been working on my poncho but I’m not sure I got the measurements right (I did start with a chain of 120 but it seems far too wide and too short).
    Could you tell me the measurements of your finished poncho (length and especially width)? That would be so helpful! Thank you!

      I have sold these ponchos now so don't have one to measure at the moment. But roughly, for me who is 5ft7 and size 14 (Australian size) about 100cm wide and 130cm long with it going past my knees and arms to my wrists.

    I'm about halfway through the poncho at the moment. It's a great design! However, I'm going to be way short on the length. I'm using exactly the same yarn and a 5.5mm hook and I don't crochet tight, but I've done 67 rows and it's only down to my waist!! I'm gonna have to do probably 90(?) rows to get to thigh level.
    Are you a very loose crocheter?

    Just discovered this tutorial. It's exactly what I need because my husband has always jokingly said he wants me to crochet a poncho (with a hood) every time we watch Emperor's New Groove with our daughter. (There's a crochet joke.) What stitch count would you recommend for starting a poncho for a man who is 6'2 ft and a size XXL?

    • @luckyplatypus
      @luckyplatypus  2 года назад +5

      I would suggest do a chain that measures from one of his arms, behind his neck and down the other arm. Then work as many rows to be as long as his body and the length he would like. Then repeat that length on the other side.☺️ Hope that helps and makes sense.

    I love your poncho and just bought mandala yarn. I was wondering why it’s important to crochet into the back of the loop? Why does it matter whether it’s the front or the back? Is this a special stitch? Would it look differently if using the front loop? I’ve only just started crocheting so I’m not experienced.

    • @luckyplatypus
      @luckyplatypus  Год назад +1

      Hi there, glad you like the poncho 😁. The way you do your stitch will also affect the way it looks therefore it is important to follow the pattern and when it says front post you do it front post or back post you do a back post and it makes it go in or out. Same with going into the back of the loop which will create what we call rib stitch and the front of the loop will have a different opposite effect. Hope that makes sense. As I always say experiment, experiment, experiment and that's the way we learn😉. Have fun 🤩
