Today I am SO excited to be sharing with you the Nellie Poncho Free Crochet Pattern! I designed the Nellie Poncho in the Spring of 2020 after learning a new stitch while testing for another crochet designer. The Nellie Poncho uses the N Stitch, once you get the hang of it I promise you will LOVE it too!
Below you will find a free copy of the Nellie Poncho crochet pattern.
The Nellie Poncho Free Crochet Pattern has 5 sizes to choose from, so I am sure you can crochet this for yourself or any woman/teen in your life! Also in this crochet pattern you will find picture and video tutorials on how to crochet the N Stitch and on how to sew your 2 panels together.
This Nellie Poncho can be warn in any season no matter where you are in the world. It is perfect for those chilly Spring days, those chilly Summer evenings, in the crispy Fall air, and of course in those cold Winter seasons.

Fringe (Optional)
Cut pieces of yarn 10”-12” long
Use 2 strands of yarn for each section of Fringe. If you want a heavier Fringe add more pieces of yarn to suit you.
Put the ends together and create a loop that can be threaded into the edges of the Poncho. Knot pieces of Fringe onto the Poncho. This will give you 4 strands of yarn to create the Fringe.
You can use your crochet hook to pull the loops through the edges of the Poncho and then thread the fringe through the loop. Pull tight to create your knot. Make sure to pull the loop in the same direction. This helps all of your knots to match.
Neck Border (Optional):
Switch to H or 5 mm Hook
Attach yarn in any stitch along the Neck Opening, slip stitch, chain 1 and sc in the same stitch. sc in each stitch around.
For a Smaller Neck Opening, add 2-3 more rows of Single Crochet.

I learned the N-Stitch during the Spring while testing for another great crochet designer group, Sunflower Cottage Crochet.

My crochet pattern testers fell in LOVE with the N-Stitch just like I did! I would LOVE to give them a BIG shout out because they worked really hard on this design. There were many hiccups because of the trying times we are in right now. There were yarn delivery delays, finding time to finish the test, and just trying to function during these troubled times. I appreciate EVERY single one of them! They are Jolanta Urb, Anita Reinisch, L. Holly George, and Laina Mann Malcolm. Below are their versions of the Nellie Summer Tee.

Use the Table at the top of the pattern for the size of your Armholes. I measured from the top of the panels and placed Stitch Markers where you will stop when sewing sides closed.
Start at the bottom of the panels and sew the sides together using the Whip Stitch, or Mattress Stitch until you get to the Armholes.
If you would like more room at the hips, leave a 2”-4” slit at the bottom on each size of the Panels. I made a 2” slits.
Shoulders:
Using the Table at the top of the pattern, find the size of the neck hole opening.
Place your Stitch Marker where you want to stop the opening on both sides of the top.
Sew the panels together using the Whip Stitch or whichever method you prefer to sew the shoulders closed.
