Isn’t this a striking knitted poncho idea? A deep plum color really draws the eye, but that cute pair of pompoms attached to the hood keeps it playful and fresh. Just goes to show that with such a basic knitting pattern, you can still play around with colors and extra details to make your kids’ knitted poncho stand out!

Who doesn’t want their little girls to look just like Little Red Riding Hood? But this knitted poncho is no costume—the fine knitting work makes it an essential winter wardrobe essential. This classic style makes it timeless and perfect for passing on to younger siblings or cousins!

The large braided detail in front of the poncho already gives it a lot of interest, but when coupled with a striking color like turquoise—major wow! Give this idea a try when making your own knitted poncho for kids!
10. Striped Hooded Poncho
This is the most amazing knitted poncho I have ever seen! Equal parts practical and whimsical, this is exactly what kids should be wearing during the wintertime! I bet my kids wouldn’t want to take this one off even when spring comes!
