I recently made this cute little crochet granny square poncho pattern for my 1-year-old daughter. I paired the poncho with a modified version of my crochet Preemie Headband 1.
I was making a rainbow colored granny square for my Classic Granny Square Stitch Tutorial, and figured I would make a few more! I made six or seven of them, but this poncho only used four.
(I will be sharing what I did with the others, soon.)
This poncho is incredibly easy to make. It is a matter of making the 4 granny squares and sewing them together. That’s it. You could add a simple trim around the neck, but it isn’t necessary.
The headband modifications were very easy, too. I used an I hook instead of the F, and I made it larger. (Check out my Hat and Headband Size Chart if you need a reference). I also used the Deluxe Loopy Flower Applique, instead of the simple one. That’s it.
This adorable little set can be worked up in one afternoon!
