Crochet Hat Patterns

It would depend on the pattern. If it’s a difficult pattern or one that’s time consuming (if it’s made of all sc, for example), I would charge more than $40. If it’s an easy pattern, probably $35 or so.

Just to give you some ideas, here is the list of ponchos on Etsy. Some of them aren’t ponchos, but wraps or caplets, but it should give you some ideas.

The only trick is changing colors – when you do – work the stitch until just before you finish pulling through the LAST two loop, change colors and pull the new color through the last 2 loops and then continue with the new color. Snip off the old color – leaving about 4 – 5 inches and weave in the ends later.

Here is the pattern from Lion Bran Yarns that Martha Stewart wore Coming Home’ Poncho in Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

7 dc + 4 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Block pattern.
7 1/2 sc + 8 rows = 4 in. (10 cm).
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

I think the word you are looking for is “capelet”, meaning small cape. Since it’s a designer item, you’ll have to be creative and experienced if you want to copy it. How about if you use the bottom pattern of this one, all the way up, and just keep going, without additional decreasing, for the collar part?

Why don’t you ask who gave it to you.Say you never saw one like it, mention how nice etc.it is.

admin answers:

Try hanging it up wet with weights attatched or un pick the neck a bit to get your head in remove existing fringe and get someone who is a good crocheter to add on some more rows to the desired size. Hey presto a designer poncho!

You should also take a look at the public library in the crochet section . They usually carry a good selection of pattern books.

Here’s a link with the classic granny square. I’ve made many variations, but this one is simple and the added chain stitch between reps help the square to lay even.

admin answers:

Just do it as you have described. You don’t need to do the whole poncho… Just do the front. And then do the back in the shape that you want. You don’t need a pattern. Or if you have a pattern, follow the appropriate section as needed. You can mix various sections of different patterns to fit together and make something in the shape that you want.
