This youth size poncho with sleeves pattern is perfect for the tween in your life. The largest of the free child sizes of this pattern, the On Point Poncho.

10/12 Youth Poncho Pattern

Here we are, already to the largest of the child sizes of the On Point Poncho. The next size up is the smallest size of the adult pattern, the XXS.

Sizes of this pattern include:

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

Quite possibly the best thing about all of these poncho patterns is that if your child has a sudden growth spurt, you can add on to the length. I love that aspect of making handmade.

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.
