LOVE LOVE The trick to put chain on back of hook so it doesnt twist never seen this before! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Anja x
How many rounds did you do for the Afghan?
It took me a bit (a few unravels and resets😉) to get the hang of the single crochets and making sure I had the correct 80 stitches, etc...but as you advised, once the neck is properly made, it's smooth sailing. Your tutorial is very thorough and easy to follow, and I appreciate the work you put into sharing your expertise and patterns.
Wonderful hgpate572! So glad you got the hang of it in the end, enjoy your crochet, Anja x
I made a poncho, like you said, in a weekend! It only took me the Saturday and Sunday. I made mine inspired by mint chocolate chip ice cream :) the neck is a dark brown, then 5 rows I switched to a light brown, 5 more rows switched to a cream with speckled brown, 5 more rows then to a light/mint green, and then to finish it off I used a dark green. Your tutorial is very easy to follow, and I appreciate you giving your pattern to everyone for use. Many of creations can come out of this!
Sounds great Hailey! Anja x
sounds delicious 🤤😂❤
The best poncho tutorial...stay Blessed and loved 😍
Wow! Such a fun poncho! I love making granny squares. I will have to give this a go!! Thank you!
Thanks Debbie, l hope you enjoy the project, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks I started a poncho today! So excited! I am going to use up some scrap yarn I have. Thanks for the perfect tutorial to get me started!
wow this looks easy am going to try and made a poncho , i always wanted to learn how to make one , thanks for sharing.
Go for it Sara, I'm sure you can do it, it really is easy, but take your time, and most of all, enjoy it, Anja x
Thank you! The way you do the chain so it’s not twisted is awesome! I always struggle with following it down to slip stitch a ring. I will be doing this on my next project.
Wonderful l can give you a useful tip Mary, enjoy and thank you, Anja x
Thanks so much my mum always wanted to make me one put got out of crochet so I am glad to make this and show my mum I finished her project
Wonderful missfroggyyy! Thank you, Anja x
I am making one for each of my granddaughters. Thank you!
That's an excellent tip about getting a straight row, it worked a treat, thanks heaps.
A very clever way of not getting your chain twisted. Great tutorial and you have a lovely voice and lovely hands.
Thank you for your comment I really appreciate it! xxx
HAHAHAHAHA. OH DEAR
RIGHT!!! I have tried like 4 or 5 different poncho patterns that start the same way and I kept ending up with it twisted, it was driving me nuts!! I will be using this technique every time now!
Thanks for this video! I’ve wanted to make a poncho like this for years - and with your very good instructions, I made 2 of them! I love them!
I made my poncho with this Pattern and close to the same colors. I love it and have started another one for a gift. And two more people that wanted me to write out the pattern so I am passing it on and I thank you so much. I have subscribed to your channel now and keep up with more of your projects thanks again Valerie Town
You’re welcome Valerie, thank you Anja x 😊
How do you change colours?
loved to finally see a crotchet video that shows step by step as I cant read patterns ty for sharing loved it
Thank you for the easy to follow video, I am making this poncho for my grandmother and I think she is going to love it! :)
Wonderful! Enjoy your crochet time, Anja x
Thank you very much for your clear and helpful instructions. Really glad to have found your video after trawling through lots of patterns. I found it really easy to follow and have just finished my first poncho, in three days as well, and just in time for the cold weather setting in. I used a different yarn, made it a bit longer and added a scalloped border. Great for snuggling up in. Will definitely do another one.
Wow, that is awesome! Have you joined out FB group yet? Please follow this link and ask to join after answering a few questions and post some photo's of your amazing work. here is the link: facebook.com/groups/opheliatalkscrochet Thank you for watching Doriluz ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

Piece of cake after the first two rows! Thank you ANJA for another great project!
JAM JAR in less than an hour!
You are easy to follow. Very good tutorial. I will definitely be looking for more. Thank you for your hard work. I love the "pause the video "....
You are so welcome! Anja x
I'm a beginner, had my doubts, especially using the Lion brand Astro-something yarn.
But I followed the instructions, rewound lots of times and ripped out many times, too. Patience held and now I am half way done! I love it!
Thank you for your tutorial! ❤❤❤
Great job! Thank you for watching Altamont 1 ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
I loved this beautiful design and also you my daughter.Your teaching process is too much helpful to learn.Thank you.God bless you.
Ahhh thank you. Thank you for being straight forward with how to make the neck opening.
Thanks for watching my video Miyan love and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
Thanks for your beautiful tutorial, dear , Ophelia!
I loved your poncho!
Lovely, thank you for sharing im so amazed you teach in an easy way.
Thank you for the fantastic video and pattern! I have made several ponchos using both. I adapted the pattern to use two strands of yarn.
Excellent teaching guide. I have just finished my Panchu. Thank you.❤
My favorite tutorial because you give me hope that I can finish in a weekend. Thank you 🙏🏾
You’re welcome 😊 Enjoy the journey Anja x
Your tutorial is the best on youtube! My mom has made two lines for me following this tutorial and I'll crochet the next lines to make a poncho for me. 😊 Thank you for teaching so well!
You're welcome Tribeni, and thank you for watching, Anja x
Thank you once again for this tutorial..this is definitely my go to poncho pattern. I have so far made 4 for myself in different colors and 2 for my niece's daughter..😊🌻😊
So easy to follow, thankyou so much, tried many times before (and failed), with your instructions I am now making my second poncho, THANKYOU x
you see when I started crocheting I failed so many times. But by trying and trying and not giving up you can do more than you think. Well done you. I am so proud of you not giving up! AMAZING!!
FINALLY AN EASY TUTORIAL I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE IT
One the best poncho tutorials!I have almost finish it!!Thank you Ophelia for the lovely tutorial.❤❤❤
That's great news Maria, well done, thank you, Anja x
Thank you for your tutorial . God bless you and your family
You are so welcome! Anja x
I love this you tube on crocheting a poncho.thank you
You're welcome and thank you Alice, Anja x
Thank u for sharing it! Your poncho look so pretty the color u used.....👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 😊 Thank you for watching Miro Lopez ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
Your welcome sweetie! Can’t wait to see more of your videos....😊
Your tip for not twisting at the beginning is brilliant! I'd love to make this beautiful poncho for the upcoming fall 😍
I agree. This is an awesome trick I didn’t know about!
Right? made it so easy :)
Thankyou for your very detailed video I can see how it is so important that you get the foundation rows correctly. As I have arthritic fingers I did the foundation chain in the 5:5 hook then I have used a 4mm hook to do the next step as I have a small head.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching Ethel Melville ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
Thank you very much for this video. I'll finally understand how to crochet a poncho. Greetz from Holland.
Thank you for teaching us to do this nice poncho!!, God bless you!!
Best tutorial ever! Details are excellent and your camera angle is perfect! Thank you so much!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching Lorraine Coulombe ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
great fun thanks so much it was a refresher course and you made it soooo easy
Hi very nice and very easy you have explained really well because I wanted to make a poncho for a very long time but the start of the poncho was always difficult for me thank you you made easier for me 😋
I just started the poncho its so easy. I like the way you started the neck. Still have a way to go should be done in a day or so.
No wonder it only took you a weekend, your crochet so fast!
Lovely video TFS 😊
Thanks a ton very well explained. Immediately after watching the vedio I started doing my poncho.
I've been looking at so many poncho videos and found that most of them are too intricate for my first one. I've been crocheting for as long as I can remember (I'm 75!) and I thought I could do just about any pattern till I tried to make a poncho. Yours was the ticket!!! I'm starting this on Thursday, and with the cooperation of my cat, I hope I can finish it by Sunday! Thank you!
Wonderful! So glad my tutorial is helpful, I do have a few more ponchos on my channel once you have mastered this one! Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks I saw one that I'm really interested in. I think it's call castle shell? Thank you again!
Thank you for this lovely tutorial..I will be making this for my granddaughters soon.
Just now finding this pattern. Excellent directions, you’re very good at explaining. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful! Anja x
Loved it.and the way to tought I really love making stuff u teach thank u so much
Haven't crochet for a long time and this video got me back into crocheting. Your video was so informative and refreshing! Just subscribed :)
Beautiful colors. Nice Poncho 👍
Thank you so much. I made it and it is beautiful. Thanx for easy instructions to follow.
I just wish to say thank you for this video 🥺you are an amazing teacher and I have made this so many times in different types of yarns. Ophelia you do amazing work with all of your tutorials. Thank you so much 🧶❤️
You are so welcome! Glad it was so helpful for you!! xx
I can hardly wait to try to make one of these, thank you for doing your video with easy to understand and follow instructions ❤❤
Thank you! I hope you enjoy making this, Anja x
Wow that was so well explained, thank you, I'll give it a try.... ❤️
Thank you So Much for your Very Easy to follow instructions for this Poncho. I did manage to complete this in 5 days for my Granddaughter.She was so delighted with my garment,that I decided to make another one for her.Unfortunately because I had like a previous follower,I went into another saved Poncho.So after the neck 3 rows.I was completely lost,so had to rip it all out.So have spent quite a few hours here today to get my Poncho up and running. You explain it more easily than a lot of tutorials I have been into.I was always a knitter in my younger years.Have only took this up with this Pandemic. I learned how to do Rainbows.Was so uplifting for me and has fair put in my lockdown time. But then it was.....What else can I do to put in my time.So my Granddaughter suggested a Poncho. Very Chuffed with my Achievement...I then decided I would like to try a Cardigan for myself...I have been in to U tube and have tried and ripped out 5 times now.So thus the reason for another Poncho.But decided to look into your feedback!!!!Couldn’t believe that you also had a Cardigan.So will be looking more into what you have put out there. Thanks Again🙏Very Much Appreciated.👏You are helping a whole lot of people out here to put in our Lockdown,by helping us to be able to crochet where before we never thought it was possible.So again “THANK YOU”🙏🌈❤️
I'm glad I watched your vedio. You were very easy to follow. Loved the pattern. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching Viola Fulmer ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
I made same pattern with the help of ur easy to follow tutorial.Thanks for sharing.the best part of this tutorial video which I liked the most is how nicely and easy way you have showed to make the first line that is neck line.i always struggle to join the very first line. Not any more now 👍😆
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching my video D G and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
My granddaughter JUST asked if I would make her a poncho and up pops your tutorial! Thank you so much - I have mine well started and am off to the races! 😉💜
Wonderful! Hope you had a great time Denise, Anja x
I've been enjoying your drawstring bags and this poncho, thank you!
For children's sizes try decreasing initial chain stitches by 10
Adult 80, small adult 70, children 60, 50, etc.
if you change the chain count how do you know where the corners go?
Mark Mullins II
Take the count of stitches minus 2 for each corner (say 70 - 2= 68) then divide remaining stitches in half for each side (68 / 2 = 34) so 34 stitches between two corners.
@@patriciamuller7560 Thank you! That helps!❤❤❤
@@patriciamuller7560 do you skip the same amount of stitches between clusters?
@@bellemuseau your starting chain size determines the number of clusters to make
Thank you Anja for a very informative and enjoyable tutorial. I FOUND SOME 8 ply variegated wool in my stash and have started a poncho. Greetings from Moira in Australia 🇦🇺.
This turned out beautifully and I’m giving it to my mom today! Thank you for sharing your pattern!!!
I hope your mum loves her gift Madison, glad you enjoyed making it, Anja x

I think this was very easy I went on a lot of The other channels and they do it so quick and you just can’t get it I’ve been doing crocheting all my life.. I had a very nasty attack of septicaemia and when is in hospital for a very long time on life-support and now I have brain damage some say I brain-damaged before but that’s the funny side. But I .even got this it was really good and she was very easy she speaks very good English not double Dutch so I give it a thumbs up 1000 times
Oh Lorna....thank you, please enjoy your crochet journey with me, Anja x
I have made one already and working on my 2nd one love this pattern
Thank you for this tutorial. Appreciate the tip on keeping the chains straight. 🌷
Beautiful poncho!
Thank you for the video (3:30 crocheting begins -I keep loosing it so I’m just reminding myself of where
Thank You so much ❤
Another brilliant video Anya! I particularly like your tip for putting the first stitch on the end of your hook,to ensure your chain doesn't twist,such a simple idea but one I never thought of! I am learning so much from watching your tutorials..Huge Thank you 😊xx
Thank you So much for your kind words, Joan, i am really pleased you are liking my ideas!! thanks for watching! xxxx
Omg, the trick at the beginning!! Thank You!!
You're welcome user-ev3si8hg7k, so glad it was helpful! Thank you, Anja x

Absolutely Beautiful!! I just started mine last night...Love it!
Thanks always wanted to know how to make a ponchos. Will give it a try
Hope you enjoy Anja x
beautiful thanks for thé idea for nit twisting 😊
Your poncho is simply Lovely! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I will begin my now! Blessings from Florida =)
As a beginner, I'm loving this poncho pattern. I had to take a chance on a different yarn since I can't wear acrylic, and my yarn seems a bit thinner than yours, but it is working out well nevertheless. It was a little scary starting out on the neckline and I was relieved when I could tell that the shape was working out correctly. Now I am just making rounds until I decide it is long enough for my preferences, and I can't wait to wear it! Thanks very much for your clean instructions!
You are so welcome! Actually I am looking forward to see a picture. If you have not already, please join our facebook group called Ophelia Talks Crochet. Thank you for watching Heidi Singer ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
Hi Ophelia
Thank you so much, it took me a bit longer than a weekend due to life but it turned out great and I love it so much thank you ❤
As long as you enjoyed your crochet time and now you have a wearable too! Thank you for making my project, Anja x
Oh what a lovely pattern and so easy to follow so glad I found your channel. Thanks so much....it is Friday and I have all the counting done and am now going to start on the body of the poncho.
Super video, easy pattern, thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for watching my video Inside Kate's Kitchen and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
I made it 😊 it is easy and fun thanks for sharing
My pleasure 😊Well done! Thanks for watching my video Mahmud Mohammed and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
@@OpheliaTalks thank you so much
I made this poncho! I am a bigger lady so I needed a little more yarn, almost a third cake. It took me 3 weekends. I love it.
I loved this video thank you so much for the video nice and easy.. I have started making this weekend poncho (I know it’s a Thursday) but I want to be finished before Sunday so I can wear it to church..
Wonderful! You will be so proud wearing it. Well done! 😘
Every time I watch the video I wish you didn't pause and carried on showing the increase, more couple rows at least. Watching how it builds up is so relaxing and helps more to understand the link for each new row instead of rewinding the video. It would be satisfying as well to see the finishing. But so beautiful 😍 whether in the colour choice or the pattern! Spot on!
Thank you Hanada, I try to keep my videos as short as possible, not everyone wants to watch hour long videos to see the end, hope it's helpful though, Anja x
@Ophelia Talks how about running the camera and speeding it up till the end of each row? That motion is satisfying 😌 and keeps the one linked, plus the length of the video will stay as short as it is. I'm doing the same poncho but using 3 blue accents yarns. I can't wait to show it to you.
Thanks for sister gift.
I love this poncho pattern! I’ve been wanting to make poncho for some time. I have a wedding to go to in March of 2024! Thank you again!! NORMA COLLINS FROM TEXAS
Oh lovely Norma, I hope it will be the perfect item of clothing for you, enjoy the journey of this project, thank you, Anja x
You made it look so easy! Going to give it a try. So pretty!😁😁😁
You can do it!
