4/6 Youth Size On Point Poncho Pattern

Is it a sweater? Is it a poncho? It’s a poncho with sleeves and the kids are going crazy for them! Grab your hook and let’s whip up a 4/6 size of the On Point Poncho!

4/6 Youth Poncho Pattern

I just love how comfortable these sleeved ponchos are to wear. Because of these sleeves it feels fitted, but the bottom half feels like a roomy poncho. Poncho perfection! 😀

Sizes of this pattern include:

Newborn
3/6 Month
9/12 Month
12/18M
2/3T
4/6 Youth (this one!)
8/10 Youth
10/12 Youth

One thing I have noticed on these ponchos is that the length needed varies greatly per child. Simply stop when the length is sufficient, or add more rows for extra length if needed.

Materials:

Lightweight/Size 3/DK yarn (w/o fringe)
-approx. 440 yards for 4/6

6mm hook (or size needed to obtain gauge)

Stitch marker

Gauge: 12 dc sts x 8 rows = 4”

Pattern Notes:

Start at the top and work your way down.

Pattern starts at the center back and is joined in rounds, turning each row.

Place first stitches of each row in the same space as join. (the ch-2 does not count as a stitch)

Odd numbered rows are “right side” and even numbered rows are “wrong side”. When finished with row 1, you could add a safety pin to remind you which side is which.
