This poncho is made in filet crochet, which forms a lacy pattern of diamonds and zigzags. You can get the oversized crochet poncho free pattern right here!
Do you ever feel like staying in bed but you have to get up and take care of business? This oversized crochet poncho combines the coziness of an afghan with the style of a sweater. So you can pretend you’re snuggled up under your blanket and still look put-together.
If you’re new to making garments, the construction of this crochet poncho couldn’t be simpler. You just make two large rectangles, which you then sew together, leaving an opening in the middle for your head. That’s it!
This crochet poncho is as easy to throw on as it is to make. You can dress it up or down to complement any number of outfits. Leave it loose or accessorize with a thin belt for a more fitted look.
