This poncho named “ Midnight Dream “ is perfect for braving the first fall weather.
There are different ways to wear it, and in strong winds the collar can simply be pulled closed.

As a small bonus, there is a pattern for the matching hat. Whether for children or adults, the poncho as well as the hat can be made in all sizes.

No annoying sewing together; it is worked in one piece.


Using the specified yarn and hook size, the poncho shown here has a wingspan of 1.60 m and a depth ( measured without the collar, from neckline to tip ) of 0.70 m.
Of course, it can be made smaller or larger.
You can make it using written instructions and a crochet chart.

Materials needed:

• A 4-ply plied gradient yarn with a total yardage of approx. 1850 m was used here ( yarn usage naturally depends on the size )
• Crochet hook size 3.5 + size 4
• For the hat, additionally ( depending on size ) between 250 m and 300 m of yarn

This pullover with its stylish lace-up placket is the perfect companion in any weather. If you like an open neckline, it should definitely be in your closet.

Whether with short sleeves, 3/4 length, or as a long-sleeved pullover, with this pattern you can make everything just the way you like it. It can be made in any size and the width and length can be adjusted individually.

Required materials (of course depending on size and design)

• For women's size 40/42, I used approx. 1600 m of 4-ply yarn (for larger sizes, plan for correspondingly more)
• Crochet hooks to match the yarn (size 4 was used here)
• possibly beads for decoration

The little kitten enjoyed steady popularity all year long. It will turn out especially cuddly if crocheted from fluffy yarn. But if that seems too complicated to you, you can of course use another yarn (e.g., acrylic yarn) for it, because otherwise the crochet pattern is very easy: you only need to crochet single crochet stitches. In the detailed pattern, every round is explained precisely. The pattern also includes lots of pictures and tips for crocheting with fluffy yarn.

Difficulty level: medium—you should already have some crocheting experience ;-) and shouldn’t choose the sheep as your very first crochet project.
