Rectangle Crochet Poncho Sizing Chart

I honestly do not know where this dimension chart for crochet ponchos originated. If it’s YOURS, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due! It is not my original work, but I’ll take a chance and share it with all of you because it was simply emailed to me some time ago by a lovely crochet reader.

The size of the rectangle for a poncho depends on several factors such as the type of poncho you want to make, the intended wearer, and the preferred fit. A general guideline for a simple poncho is to crochet a rectangle that measures twice the width of the intended wearer’s bust and about 20-24 inches in length. However, it is always best to measure the intended wearer and make adjustments accordingly for the best fit. Additionally, you can also consider the type of yarn and hook you are using, as they can affect the drape and size of the final product.

So if like me you are looking for a cheat sheet on What size your poncho needs to be then this is the chart for you.

 At any rate, it’s been a helpful poncho guide for me. You can use any stitch pattern you like to create your poncho rectangles. Same for hooks size, yarn size and fiber type. Why not be creative and make a poncho that is unique to you!

Also, here’s a schematic I found at Google Images:

This should give you an idea of how to assemble the two rectangles to create your poncho. I have to look at the schematics EVERY TIME!! No kidding! I guess I’m a slow learner. But, I find this helpful. Ignore everything except the two rectangles and how they are sewn together. The other stuff on the diagram is to do something else. I know now what. I do know that following this simple schematic for two rectangles will result in a poncho!
