Lydia’s poncho is a top-down crochet pattern featuring a spiderweb design with a subtle gothic feel. It’s made for those who consider themselves a little strange and unusual!

What this pattern has to offer:

• Made to measure - you can make it in a short cape size, normal poncho or a full “poncho dress”
• Step-by-step instructions with detailed photos at every stage of the project
• Clear guidelines for creating the spiderweb – no crooked lines, perfect results every time!
• Two hood options: simple or spiderweb
• Pattern uses two crochet techniques, but no prior experience with either is required:
  • Filet crochet – every row is written out stitch by stitch!
  • Surface crochet – includes both photo and video tutorials!
• Photo & video tutorials for:
  • foundation single crochet (fsc)
  • linked double crochet (ldc) - optional; can be used instead of normal dc

After purchase you will receive two PDF files - Pattern and Lookbook with details about ponchos made by me and my testers

Materials needed:

• Weight 3 or 4 yarn - about 500g total - I’m using Gazzal XL baby cotton (50g = 105m) and Alison&Mae velvet yarn (50g = 48m) for the spiderweb lines
• Crochet hook - a little bigger than hook recommended for your yarn (to achieve better drape) - I used 5.0mm
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

This pattern is suitable for intermediate / advanced beginners. The pattern doesn’t contain any complicated stitches but the overall project might be overwhelming for beginners :)

You should be familiar with the following crochet stitches:

• ch - chain
• sl st - slip stitch
• fsc - foundation single crochet
• dc - double crochet
