What is a blanket poncho pattern?

A blanket poncho pattern is a sewing or knitting pattern used to construct a poncho. When sewing, the pattern typically turns an already existing blanket into a poncho. When knitting, the pattern provides instructions for knitting a poncho that has patterns reminiscent of knitted blankets or throws.

Blanket poncho patterns intended for sewing tend to be very simple. Making a poncho out of a blanket involves folding the blanket in half, cutting a hole for the neck, attaching the front to the back and trimming the poncho with bias tape. Knitting a poncho that looks like a cable-knitted blanket is more complex and requires 12 skeins of yarn.
