The Peaceful Poncho is a light weight poncho that will be perfect for the warmer months. You will look super cute wearing this poncho!
This post is for the adult size. There is a regular size that will fit small through large. Then the plus size will fit XL – approximately 3XL. It is also longer, so if you are tall the plus size will fit better.
The Child Size Peaceful Poncho can be found HERE. It comes in Toddler (2-3t), Child Small (4-8), Child Large (10-14), and Teen (16 or Adult Small). A chart with measurements is included in the PDF version that can be found on Ravelry HERE.
Photos are worked using Lion Brand Mandala Yarn. It is a light #3 yarn, you can substitute any yarn in the same weight making sure to check gauge. I use Clover Amour crochet hooks. They are my favorite because of the ergonomic handle and the smooth glide.
Pattern is worked making 2 rectangles. Rectangles are sewn together in an L shape then folded over to sew the other sides together. There is a small opening for the neck at the top then the V is for the bottom opening.

Up close photo of rows, note where the last 2 DC of row 6 are together.
Up close photo of row 7 with the standing DC and DC in ch-1 space.
Sewing Panels Together
Lay the rectangles out in an “L” shape. Pay attention to line up the “hole row” (ch-1 space row) next to the side of the other panel. The panel on the right’s hole row should be at the top. Use the mattress stitch to sew panels together in the “L” shape. The mattress stitch sews the panels together seamlessly, the yarn you are sewing with will not be visible.
Fold the left side over the right side, meeting up with the other corner.
Fold the top down to meet up with other panel. Making note that the hole row is meeting up with the side. Turn where the small hole is at the top for the neck opening.

Join to the neck with a slip stitch.
Row 1: Ch 1, sc around. Join. Finish off.
Bottom Border
Join to the bottom with a slip stitch.
Row 1: ch 1, sc around. Join.
Row 2: ch 1, sc around. Join. Finish off. Weave in all ends.
Optional to add fringe or tassels along the bottom.
