Unicorn Poncho – Crochet Pattern Review

February 23, 2022

This is a crochet pattern review of the cute and cozy Unicorn Poncho crochet pattern designed by Frisian Knitting. Review done by Jessica Munroe for EyeLoveKnots.

Have you seen the latest Disney movie Encanto yet? It’s a must-see. After my daughter saw the movie, she really loved the poncho that one of the characters, Camilo, wore. She asked me if I could make her a poncho, I said ‘absolutely’ and here we are!

I went with two simple colors, one of them being pink as it’s her favorite. As you may already be able to tell, it uses the Granny stitch, which makes for an easy and quick project with adorable results.

Materials I Used:

  • Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in White and Light Raspberry
  • Size H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Yarn Needle
  • Scissors
  • Unicorn Poncho, Paid Crochet Pattern from Frisianknitting on Etsy

Material Notes:

I chose to use only two colors instead of a rainbow of colors. As long as you have the same weight yarn throughout, you could use any number of colors you like. I have to admit, a rainbow one would be super cute!

Time Spent:

The poncho took me approximately 4 hours to make, including weaving in ends. I also need to mention that my timing on this may be slightly off as I had a small injury to one of my fingers while I was making this so it made crocheting go a little slower than usual.

Measurements:

The poncho size I made was the 6-7 year old size. I did make it 6 rows shorter than the pattern called for, based on my daughter’s height. Therefore, the one I made measures 15.5 inches from the center of neck to the point on the front. It measures 24 inches across at the widest point.

Gauge:

The gauge is 4 inches by 4 inches equals 18 by 28 stitches. I’ll let you guess if I followed the gauge based off my other pattern reviews…

Pattern Notes:

The pattern is very easy to follow. The last round says to fasten off once it’s complete but I actually did a finishing round of single crochet in each stitch before fastening off.  

The pattern also gives sizing for ponchos for newborns to adult. There are photos included for how to do double crochet and the foundation row as well, which I found to be useful. Bonus: when you purchase this pattern, you get one in English and one in German (in case that is helpful for you)!

Also, don’t be fooled that the pattern creator’s name is Frisian Knitting; this is absolutely a crochet pattern. Overall, this pattern is great; it is well written and very easy with beautiful results!

      Thank you for your kind words! My daughter wore it to school and said it kept her toasty. 🙂

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
