Let’s make this easy, and quick crochet cowl neck poncho-free pattern with step-by-step full video tutorial sizes small to plus size.

To be honest, when I was young, cowl neck or turtle neck style clothes were my least favorite piece that I would pick out to wear. But now!? These cowl neck ponchos would be my first choice to wear this fall/winter season.

When you add the turtle neck to a poncho, they become a perfect layering piece to keep your neck and body toasty warm in the cold month.

This free is one of easiest to make ever like It’s named ” The beginner cowl neck poncho.”

This crochet poncho with cowl neck pattern is basically made up of just 2 rectangles! and the crochet stitch mostly uses single crochet and chain! See how easy they are!

And for the roll neck, I have made it separate; basically, you just crocheted one more rectangle and attached them to the poncho body.

Crochet stitch used for this simple turtle neck poncho.

I am a fan of moss/linen crochet stitch because they make the garment come out look knit!

We will crochet linen stitch for the main body part of this poncho pattern front panel, and the back panel uses the same stitch.

For the turtle neck part is made from half double crochet stitch. That’s all you have done!

Remember, when in doubt, wear grey! They would go with everything. ^^
