Lichen It Poncho
Colour pop, texture, flattering boat neck and drape - hook up this crochet poncho for your wardrobe stat! Wear over a top to keep the chill off or layer over a turtle neck or roll neck for maximum winter warmth.
The gorgeous texture is created from a variety of stiches, all explained in the PDF pattern, while the rectangular shape keeps things simple and modern – a great first step into crochet garments if you’re a beginner, or just a fun way to add colour to your wardrobe.
It’s inspired by the silvery grey and bright yellow colour combinations, and interesting textures of lichen found on tree bark.
