10 Girls Poncho Knitting Patterns
Knitting up a poncho is an easy and quick project. This blog post has 10 poncho patterns for girls, including 2 free patterns (see pattern #1 and #3). Don’t worry, you can knit ponchos for yourself, too. Here are the best women’s poncho knitting patterns.
They're all very cute with details to make your little girl feel like she's wearing something special. She can wear it over her clothes on a chilly day, as well as cover herself while watching TV, reading books, or playing video games - which are all things little girls love to do!
Ponchos are perfect for when the weather gets chilly because they cover more of their body than just a sweater or jacket can. They're also great because they're easy to put on and take off, and since there is no zippers or buckles.
And don't forget about all of the different colors you can choose from! There's something here for everyone: bright colors, Fair Isle, cables, and even a few easy-knitting ponchos...you name it!
So go get started on making your little one the best poncho out there!

#3. Ice Queen Poncho Free Knitting Pattern
Here’s what inspired this design, “My daughter is finally old enough to appreciate ponchos. It was Maya’s idea to design one after her class used ponchos at school as a prop for their end of the year show. I was reminded daily for the whole summer, and here it is! Maya is so delighted with her poncho and wears it to school every morning.”
This design has an endless possibility of color combinations. You can use one color, variegated colors, and several colors. It’s a great stash-buster knitting project!
The design is listed as 19 sts gauge and worsted/aran yarn, but can be worked with any yarn and any gauge.
