Crochet Poncho with Collar and Tassels – PDF Pattern with Stitch Chart

Crochet an open-front poncho with a textured V-stitch pattern, a pointed hem and a short collar. Two crocheted cords with tassels tie at the front. You’ll work from the neckline down to the hem, adding or removing four-row blocks to adjust the length.

The 11-page PDF pattern includes a stitch chart for the first 14 rows, an increase table through Row 38, and step-by-step photos for starting rows, working the border and finishing. It also explains how to make the collar, cords and tassels.

The PDF includes QR codes and clickable links to my YouTube channel, “sein mit Nora”, and to yarn shops in Germany and Switzerland. The link to the German yarn shop is an affiliate link, so I may earn a commission if you make a purchase through it.

The download includes separate German and English PDFs. The English version uses US crochet terminology.

Skill level: intermediate. Best suited to crocheters who are comfortable with basic stitches and have some experience with increases or post stitches.

You’ll use chains, slip stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and post stitches. The main pattern is worked back and forth in rows. The stitch chart shows where to place the increases, and the table gives the stitch count for each side of the V.

The optional chainless starting double crochet is shown in seven step-by-step photos. You can use three turning chains instead.

My sample measures approximately 53 cm (21 in) after 38 pattern rows, excluding the collar. For your preferred length, work fewer or more four-row blocks before adding the border. The finished length also depends on your yarn and crochet tension.
