This easy poncho will keep you cozy and stylish. I chose the tweed yarn as the perfect complement to the simple lines of double crochet.
And since we’re working completely in double crochet stitches it works up quickly too. With a basic stitch pattern like this it’s so easy to customize this poncho to fit your body.
As written, the pattern includes 4 sizes to fit from bust size 38” up to 62”. So you can easily size up or down to adjust sizing. And if you want a more tailored fit just use the tips in the “adjustment” section below.
