The inspiration for this poncho came from all the beautifully sheer knit ponchos that were worn on top of vacation outfits, wedding guest dresses, and casual summer outings. I wanted to create a crochet version that was breathable, sheer, worked up quickly, used a small amount of yarn, and could be worn in multiple ways.

This pattern includes a made-to-measure calculator and does not include graded sizes. In order to use, you will need to input your gauge & body measurements and the calculator will give you a guide on row and stitch counts.

You can also choose to use this pattern as a guide to measure-as-you-go. Just remember that the poncho will stretch and grow in size with blocking & wear.

Instructions to modify this pattern for a kids version and for a bandana/hip scarf will also be included.
