A dramatic, long cloakish poncho to engulf you within and protect you against the cold winds. Pair it up with a chic but basic outfit and it will look great.

Its wide rib collar is perfect for some extra warmth for your neck and its thermal stitch makes it an ideal choice for when you’re seeking some extra warmth. Overall, it’s quick and easy knit.

If you’re looking to knit a nice and subtle patterned poncho, then the shadow poncho is a good choice. It’s easy to wear around the year and it’s super easy and fun to knit. The best bit about this poncho is that you can wear it year-round. The cables are worked on a stockinette background instead of setting off by purl stitches, giving it a subtle finish. You may consider making this your go-to poncho.

I have always been big about fall time clothing and accessories, if you can relate then you would know why this beauty made it to the list of our pick of pretty poncho patterns. It’s an absolute joy that this pattern is free. All you need to do is pick some good yarn in neutral colors and knit away.

A sweet poncho pattern with a different box-like shape different from the usual inverted triangular lower border. However, it’s an intermediate skill level owing to its intricate detailing. You will be using a bunch of different stitches and techniques such as the purl stitch, knit stitch, SSK, k2tog, yarning over, and reading the lace chart as well as picking up the stitches. Good luck making this beauty and stay motivated as it’s a well-written pattern further aided with a lace chart.

This pattern reminds me of some pretty pictures I used to see in knitting magazines back in the day. It’s a timeless pattern with some nostalgic vibes that at least I can’t seem to shrug off.

This very cute and casual poncho is so perfect for wearing on an almost daily basis and looking just as good every time, that I felt like calling it the college poncho. It looks more like an oversized tee but in a cute way. This poncho is worked flat in two pieces, and you will be using the garter stitch edging to give it a refined finished look. It is pretty simple to make as you will mostly be using just the knit and purl stitches with some neck shaping involved as you reach the end of the project.

If you could only have one yellow piece in your wardrobe, would you pick this? Because I would. This poncho looks like a macaron from Paris for some reason, and I’m in love. The pattern is available in 3 different sizes including plus sizes which are so great. To make this yummy banana yellow knit poncho, you will be working in rows and making 2 separate rectangles that you will seam up together.

Ooh, loving the yummy pattern! So appropriate for the winters, wow! You can adjust the neck opening size if required, otherwise, it’s a ‘one size fits most’ pattern. This poncho is worked flat, and you can opt for any weight of yarn for this. If you wish to make the poncho longer, simply make a longer rectangle, and voila!

Now this one is a poncho with a lot of coverage, so even a thin layer underneath should do. You’ll enjoy working on this pattern and this would go well with a lot of your outfits. I, however, think this poncho is perfect for the fall or the start of winter as nothing would go better with it than some denim shorts or skirts paired with your sexiest stilettos.
