- Bernat Satin, Petite Lacy Poncho
This poncho pattern has been updated on March 1, 2013 to make it easier to understand as well as to provide instructions for multiple sizes.
The size given is for a small and a slightly larger size is given in parenthesis. However, you can make the poncho as narrow or as wide as you like by chaining any multiple of 6. As for the length, just continue with the pattern repeat rows and make the increases as established.
Crocheted ponchos are great for wearing around the house. Currently they are not in, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still enjoy them at home. They are very comfortable to wear and are perfect for relaxing and staying warm while crocheting or reading. It’s like wearing a blanket, but with style. Hope you enjoy!

I don’t know about you, but I do not have a measuring tape or ruler that has tenths of an inch markings. Did you really mean one-and-two-tenths inches when you wrote 1.2″ in the gauge? Or did you mean one-and-one-half inches? That would be written 1.5″ in decimal form.
I never really work to ‘get gauge’. When I tried describing a poncho to my in-laws in Syria – where the word is unknown – I said it’s a blanket with a hole in the center. As long as it fits over the head and lies loosely over the shoulders, it’s a poncho – in my mind anyway.
Thank you for the lovely pattern.
Yes that was a typo and has been changed. Thanks for pointing that out. Gauge is very important for some projects, but for this one it don’t matter because you can make it in any size.
Thanks again,

I love this pattern. I made it up using worsted weight yarn and a size H hook in the larger size and it turned out great! The pattern was easy to follow and it worked up quickly and easily. I am making up lots of these to donate to our local nursing home. The residents are always chilly and these provide that little bit of extra warmth and fit easily over the head. Thanks for the great pattern!
I am making this poncho and a little confused on row 9, the cluster count is 39, but when i skip the 2 dc and chain sections I end up with 26 clusters. Am I suppose to cluster in the chain 1 space and the chain 3 spaces. That makes up the 39 clusters.
Betty, Thank you so much for catching that. It is a mistake to say skip the 2 dc. I’ve changed it to say “sk tr and dc” instead. I also changed that for rnds 13 and 17. Let me know if that helps. :)
Yes Ma’am. Thank You so much. I have looked and looked for a poncho and I really like this one. Many Thanks and I hope you and your family had a Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you and you as well. :)
Have you ever made this poncho with a chunky yarn?
No, I havn’t. But you certainly could try as it’s easy to adjust to the correct width. I’d love to know how it turns out if you do. :)
I was right in there up to row 12-13, and row 16-17, could you possibly make a video of these rounds? Just a few examples to get started? I have done very good at the videos on You Tube, but have trouble with written instructions…. I have a pattern for a shawl I haven’t made yet because I can’t find anyone to show me the way to do it….. Wonderful pattern love it I hope I can finish it.
What does l.p. stand for? I’ve watched 2 videos, one says loop st the other one says its the front loop? Thank you.
Those are both correct. However, in this pattern I’m referring to a chain space, which is also known as a loop. So in this pattern the loops are made with 3 chains. Hope that helps. :)
