Product Description
The Iris Poncho is a pull-over garment designed to keep you warm. She has a cosy turtleneck and tassels at the bottom to complete the poncho. The poncho is made out of granny stripes. Alternating the stripes more frequently will make for a delicate design, whilst alternating the stripes less frequently will make for a bolder design.
There is plenty of opportunity for creativity with the Iris Poncho. The length of the neck, poncho and tassels is completely customisable. The number of colours and how often you alternate them is also up to you to decide.
The pattern is available in sizes XS to XL, so fits bust sizes from 76cm to 117cm. This is an intermediate pattern, but advanced beginners are encouraged to give it a go!

What is Being Made
The Iris Poncho is a crocheted slip-over garment designed by Dilys Goodridge of Parsley and Paisley. This poncho is a versatile layering piece available in five sizes ranging from XS to XL, with bust measurements from 76cm to 117cm. The poncho features a consistent neck circumference of 52cm across all sizes, while length varies between 64cm for smaller sizes and 75cm for larger sizes, excluding tassels and neckline. The pattern allows for customization, making it adaptable to individual preferences and style choices.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This intermediate-level crochet project utilizes fundamental crochet techniques to create a structured poncho silhouette. The pattern is designed to be worked with a 4mm crochet hook and employs DK weight yarn, which provides a balanced fabric suitable for layering garments. The construction method allows for customization options, giving crocheters flexibility in how they approach the project. The poncho design incorporates a fitted neckline that remains consistent across all sizes while the body length and overall dimensions scale appropriately for different measurements.
Stitches and Stitch Work
While specific stitch abbreviations and detailed stitch sequences are referenced in the pattern documentation, the Iris Poncho employs standard crochet stitches appropriate for intermediate-level crafters. The pattern structure supports the creation of a wearable garment with proper shaping and drape, utilizing techniques that allow for the customization features mentioned in the pattern instructions.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Iris Poncho pattern requires DK weight yarn with specific yardage depending on size selection:
- XS, S, and M sizes: Approximately 1400 meters of DK weight yarn
- L and XL sizes: Approximately 1800 meters of DK weight yarn
The designer used Stylecraft Special DK yarn, which is 100% acrylic and yields 295 meters per 100 grams. The pattern was created in three colorways: Storm Blue, Mustard, and Pale Rose, demonstrating the poncho's versatility with different color combinations. A 4mm crochet hook is required to achieve proper tension, though hook size may be adjusted as needed to meet individual gauge requirements. A yarn needle is necessary for weaving in ends and finishing the garment.
