Last winter, my design adventure started with a
poncho pattern. This year, I decided to make another. While this poncho is completely different in design and construction from my Secret Paths and Hidden Daisies poncho, it has that same warm and snug feeling when wearing it. I really think ponchos are my most preferred winter wear. Easy to throw on when there is a chill in the air, and just as easy to take off again when the chimney starts working overtime!
With every design I made this year, I tried new techniques. I have learned a lot because of that, and I love to keep on working in different ways to be able to offer something new and interesting with every pattern. This poncho pattern is worked sideways, which makes it incredibly easy
to adjust in length as well as circumference. You can make this poncho
in such a way to fit your body precisely.The pattern gives you options
for sizes XS to 5X. But don’t let that keep you from working out your
own size. See pattern notes and schematic for instructions.
As you might know by now, I love colours! Nothing makes a beautiful colour pop up more than a base of black. That is what I tried with his poncho, lining the dark night sky with bands of colour. As always, my testers made some fantastic versions in completely different colours. I'm marvelled by their resulting ponchos, and they made me feel like making another one, just to play more with this way to align colours.
The pattern
works with linked double crochet, diminishing the hole in between
stitches and giving the fabric a nice snug feel. At the same time,
working in blo or flo of stitches gives the pattern enough stretch to
move around comfortably. The single split on one side of the front
enables your too move your dominant arm freely. Edges are worked after
seaming.
As usual, if you need help while making this pattern, you are welcome to ask for it below
in the comments, contact me personally or come and find me on
Ravelry or
Facebook. On both platforms I have groups as well where I love to help you out.
There is a Pdf of the full pattern available on
Ravelry, Etsy and
Love Crochet. I hope you will enjoy it!
Happy crochet,
Lili
