Nellie Poncho Free Crochet Pattern

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.

Nellie Poncho

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

Fringe (Optional)

  1.  Cut pieces of yarn 10”-12” long
  2. Use 2 strands of yarn for each section of Fringe.  If you want a heavier Fringe add more pieces of yarn to suit you.
  3. 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. 
  4. 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.
