Crochet Poncho for 4-5 Years Girl (Any Size)

 

Hello friends,

Here is my new creation which I enjoyed a lot, it's Poncho for my smaller grand daughter Kanika. I made some sweaters for her but I never made Poncho. For my elder grand daughter I have knitted one poncho which I have shown in my post below,

But this time when I saw this crochet pattern on Cardigan, https://youtu.be/pUDNZbFWiu8

I liked it very much and I decided to make this pattern on Poncho and here is the result.

I used 4 ply yarn for this and I need 215 gm for this. It's height is 15".

If you want to make Poncho of different size then here is the chart. For bigger size, you may use single colour.
