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!

Child size free poncho crochet pattern

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! šŸ˜€

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 = 4ā€

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 ā€œright sideā€ and even numbered rows are ā€œwrong sideā€. When finished with row 1, you could add a safety pin to remind you which side is which.

4/6 PATTERN:

Fasten off and weave in all ends. If desired, add fringe. Cut yarn in ~6ā€ long strands (so they will be ~3ā€ long when halved), and attach three strands of fringe in every third stitch across the bottom of the last row of the body.

Attach yarn at center of underarm looking at the OUTSIDE of the sleeve opening. See pattern notes regarding ā€œright sideā€ and ā€œwrong sideā€.

    Is the 4/6 poncho much bigger than the 3t? My granddaughter is 3 I made her the 3T but she wants me to make her a bigger one so she can wear it longer. I love the poncho made 2 and the kiddos love them.

      Hi Linda! I am so glad you are enjoying the pattern! You could try the 4/6 and go down a hook size...that would probably make it closer to a 4t or 4/5. Hope this helps!

      Hi Sandra! You should be increasing by 8 stitches each row. Hope this helps!

    What changes would you make if you only have a 4 weight (worsted) yarn?

      Hi Deb! You can use 4 weight yarn as long as you can match gauge...you may need to go down a hook size. Hope this helps!

    I’m making a medium OPP. On row 17 I do have 160 stitches. On row 18 I can’t come out to 172. If I’m really just adding 4 more stitches. What am I not getting?

      I'm making the size 4/6 and at the end of Row 10 I should have 143 st, but I only have 138. I've frogged and counted several times, and still just get 138. Should I increase by 4 st on row 10?
