Finally, the season of fashionable outer garments. My crochet design for this Fall is a versatile poncho to add to the Turning Leaves crochet patterns collection. It can be worn as a skirt with a string around the waist.

Materials: ( I used )
3mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: orange ( about 500 gr for the sample – size XL and 2XL / 50 gr or 136 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 🙂
Special stitch used:
V stitch ( dc, ch 1, dc into same stitch or space )
2dc – V stitch ( 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc into same stitch or space )
This crochet Turning Leaves poncho pattern fits size XL/ 2XL ( chest size: 40 to 46 inches )
Skill level: Intermediate
Gauge: 12 double crochet stitches x 4 rows = approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
