The Inishmann Poncho

Wrap yourself in the luxury of crocheted cables! Named for one of the Aran Isles off the West Coast of Ireland, this poncho features several cabling stitches, a stunning lace trim, and a buttoned collar that can be worn 2 different ways. The complete video tutorial will lead you every step of the way, demystifying these seemingly complicated stitches.

CORRECTION ON PERIMETER ROUND: At time mark 37:27 you should have 121 sts across the long ends instead of 131 sts.

Skill Level: Intermediate

Here's what I suggest for this design:

Yarn: 10 hanks of Berroco Vintage, #4 weight (52% acrylic, 40% wool, 2% nylon, 3.5 oz/100 g, 218 yds/200 m), color #5101
Hook: Size J (or 10/6.00 mm)
Notions: scissors, yarn needle, stitch marker, 2 buttons for collar (can be between 1 to 1 1/4"), measuring tape, {Optional: 3 stitch markers, a set of Knit Clips when crocheting panels together (Large pins can also be used in place of Knit Clips.)}

Wow, your detailed instructions make this gorgeous poncho look like a project that even a novice like me can make! I think I’ll practice some of the beautiful stitches you use in this poncho so that I can get familiar with them before actually trying the real poncho! It is too irresistible not to try! ❤️

Your books have brought me such pleasure. Even when i just made a scarf, i would buy special yarn( only the best for you) and I would keep it next to my bed for my special quite time. I think this is going to be my special project just for me. Thank you ❤

I just finished my poncho and it is beautiful! Thank you for teaching me how to crochet this style of crochet. I’m loving every minute of it. I can’t wait to start my other project.💜💜💜

Not gonna lie, the Celtic knot stitch was not easy! I think I finally figured it out on the eighth try🤣 But this is the first pattern I've ever done. So yaay for me! I love this poncho!

[stephaniecanales]

Ms. Bonnie. I've just completed my first panel. I love this design. It is tough on the fingers on rows 2 and 3 for sure but for the most part I was fine. I did enjoy the large honeycomb. This was my first time with that and the cable stitch. I have done the Celtic weave on another one of your designs. I believe it was the sports poncho, so that was the easy part for me. I dont have blocking boards but I did mark spots on my garage door and just pinned it with thumbtacks and it's works for now. I will continue with the second panel and now I cant wait to join the 2 panels together ❤ I love your designs and appreciate you so much. 🥰 Thank you thank you!!!! May you have a blessed day today and everyday.🙏

Absolutely gorgeous! I'm adding this to my "gotta make it" pile!

[ingridvenables-jjjs]

Gorgeous design, I down loaded the pattern and follow the video to confirm how to execute the stitches. Excellent ❤

[tonileigh]

When I saw how incredibly beautiful this poncho is, I was sure it would be very difficult to make. Your tutorial makes it look like something I could do. I need to make one of these for my daughter for this coming winter.

[marpercy]

It is rare anything makes me say wow. As soon as I saw this I said it out loud. I love this and can't wait to finish a few wips and start on this gorgeous piece.
