    Need help joining poncho

    I've crocheted two panels for a poncho, but am having a problem joining them. Do I crochet them together, or sew them together with a yarn needle. I have to get this done for my granddaughter's birthday, which is the end of August. Thank you to anyone who is kind enough to reply

    I don't know exactly what pattern you used for your poncho, but I've made several ponchos for my granddaughters. I used a yarn needle and matching yarn to sew my panels together. I think it's easier with a needle than to try to crochet them together. Sometimes you don't have an exact match with the stitches and the needle method gives you a little leeway. Good luck.

    I agree with Annette that is easier to use the yarn needle. I think the seam lays flatter that way. Shirley

    Good point, Shirley. When you single crochet a seam, sometimes it does make a ridge.

    Hi:
    I did one,I turn over the wrong side.
    You have two pieces,put them together and sew them go from side to side.
    Don't pull the yarn to much.
