I’d been planning to create a versatile crochet poncho design for Springtime. Here, I’d love to show you the lacy poncho with leaf texture, made from cake cotton fine yarn – light and soft. The best thing is there are a few ways to wear this piece.
Click here to <3 this pattern on Ravelry
Materials: ( I used )
3mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: Orange green beige shade ( about 300 gr for the sample – size L/ 150 gr or 656 yds per skein )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 🙂
This crochet pattern is done by 2 identical pieces, seam to join shoulder lines.
Special stitch used:
dc 4 tog: ( double crochet 4 stitches together )
( Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops ) x 4 times.
Yarn over, and draw through all loops on hook.
This crochet Spring Leaves poncho pattern fits size L ( chest size: 36 to 38 inches )
Skill level: Intermediate
Gauge: 12 double crochet stitches x 5 rows approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
