In May of 2017 I designed my Starlight JL blanket pattern, featuring Jacobs Ladder stitches to add texture to it. In the back of my mind, I kept thinking I wanted to design a poncho with the same stitch pattern. Finally, 4 years later, I’ve done it. I am so happy with how this poncho turned out. I hope you enjoy making one as much as I did.

Like on my Star Light JL blanket, the Jacobs Ladder braids really make the design pop. This poncho has a great oversize fit, without being bulky. Use a lighter weight yarn and smaller hook to make a child size poncho.

This is an advanced beginner pattern, you will need to know basic crochet terminology and stitches like Front and back post double crochet. It’s very versatile, you can crochet it in any weight yarn with the appropriate hook.

For those that download ed the pattern on the release day, an error was found in Round 12. This is the correction

Round 12: ch 3, dc in 35 st inc. (DC 37, INC) repeat 3 times. 155 st

The pattern has been fixed the PDF is now correct. **
