Glencoe Tartan Poncho Crochet Pattern

Stripped nearly bare by sheep and deer, the rock strewn hills and empty meadows greet you with a sense of adventure as you travel throughout rugged landscapes of the Highlands, thick with mist and towering mountains.

Whilst freely roaming through rolling hills of lush green and heather, the Glencoe Tartan Poncho provides ample room for those on-the-go needing a soft garment to retreat into. Simple comfort elevated by carefully chosen details, this pullover will have you feeling bundled in the winter months, all thanks to the timeless turtleneck and flowy, flattering drape. Side vents and exaggerated sizing give this garment easy style, while the rich, mirrored tartan design harkens back to the past, brought beautifully up-to-date in a modern piece with lasting appeal.

With a flask of tea slipped into your bag, the misty moors offer a compelling place to head as you wander through the valleys enveloped in your newfound companion, the Glencoe Tartan Poncho… The kind of perfect pullover that is day-in-and-day-out cozy and comfortable!

As with my Meara Fisherman Sweater, there is something so satisfying about the squish factor of Lion Brand’s Wool-Ease, so I knew I wanted to incorporate a similar cosiness into this pullover as well. I decided on a combination of Lion Brand Wool-Ease and Touch of Alpaca (a new favorite of mine!), as their versatility, durability, and color range worked perfectly together.

This is a wonderfully uncomplicated pattern that will challenge beginners and keep experienced crocheters interested, as creating a tartan design with crochet is a great way to expand your skills and learn a new tool that can really elevate your work.

Crocheted in aran weight yarn, the Glencoe Tartan Poncho uses both single crochets and a woven technique to bring you a modern yet cosy winter essential!.. Perfect for weekend lounging as it is for exploratory outings. Scroll down to find the free pattern, purchase an ad-free printable version here, or head to Lion Brand to snag the yarn kit.

+ ASSEMBLY

Follow β€œAssembly Diagram” below. Block the finished front/back panels of the poncho to correct height/width.

Place the β€œFront of Poncho” on top of the β€œBack of Poncho”, flip the layout inside out, and join the two panels together by seaming the shoulders of the two panels – working along the ends of Row 1-52 and then Row 86-137 (the side where the neckline decreases were made). The remaining opening is the neckline.
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.

+ TARTAN DESIGN

Note: Cut lengths of yarn approx 78”/198cm long, thread 2 strands of yarn onto a tapestry needle, and use the chart below as a design guide. Strands will alternate β€˜under’ and β€˜over’ sc’s to create woven appearance. When working through rows where panels are seamed at the shoulders, continue the embroidery detailing across both the front/back of the poncho. When working through rows where the opening of the neckline is, continue using the design guide, but working across only one panel at a time.

Row 1: Using β€œA” yarn, *weave one vertical line over one sc. Weave one vertical line under one sc. Repeat from the * across the entire row, leaving approx 7”/18cm at each end for tassels. Use the weaving chart below as a guide.

Row 2: Using β€œA” yarn, *weave one vertical line under one sc. Weave one vertical line over one sc. Repeat from the * across the entire row, leaving approx 7”/18cm at each end for tassels. Use the weaving chart below as a guide.

Row 3 – 11: Repeat row 1 – 2.

Row 12 – 19: Using β€œB” yarn, repeat row 1 – 2.

Row 20 – 27: Using β€œA” yarn, repeat row 1 – 2.

Row 28 – 30: Using β€œC” yarn, repeat row 1 – 2.

Row 31 – 64: Using β€œA” yarn, repeat row 1 – 2.

Row 65 – 73: Using β€œB” yarn, repeat row 1 – 2.

Row 74 – 107: Using β€œA” yarn, repeat row 1 – 2.

Row 108 – 110: Using β€œC” yarn, repeat row 1 – 2.

Row 111 – 118: Using β€œA” yarn, repeat row 1 – 2.

Row 119 – 126: Using β€œB” yarn, repeat row 1 – 2.

Row 127 – 137: Using β€œA” yarn, repeat row 1 – 2.

+ TASSELS

To create tassels, divide the 78”/198cm lengths from the tartan design into groups of 8 strands (except for one group, which will have 10 strands) evenly along the edge of the poncho, and knot to secure. Trim tassels to desired length.

+ ROLL NECK

Note: For the roll neck, you will be working only into the back loops of the sts (and not through both loops) from the previous row, from row 2 and onwards.

Ch36 using A yarn and 6mm hook.

Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook. 1 sc in next 34 sts. Turn your work. (35 sts)

Row 2 – 90: Ch1, 1 blsc in same st. 1 blsc in next 34 sts. Turn your work. (35 sts)
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.

Sl st together the last row and the foundation chain to form a roll neck. Seam to neckline, lining up the seamline of the roll neck to the centre of the back of the neckline.

Hope you all enjoy this pattern for a pullover poncho, perfect for walks through the highlands.
