The Summerfest Poncho is perfect for a music festival, as a beach or pool swimsuit cover up, or for casual wear. This poncho is crocheted with sport weight yarn, in an easy mesh linear pattern that forms vertical columns, with fringe on the bottom edge.

Wear it in the summer over a tank top or a camisole, add your favorite shorts, crochet bag, and aviator sunglasses and you are ready to go to the music festival. Or, wear it to the beach or the pool over a swimsuit for a perfect cover up. Or, dress it up a bit with a T-shirt, leggings and short boots for a night on the town.

And, when Summer ends use a sport weight wool yarn for a comfy Winter poncho. Either way, you’ll find that this poncho is easy to customize to your own fit, versatile, and easy to wear.

I really like the Shine Sport yarn from Knit Picks for this poncho. It’s a cotton and beech wood fiber mix yarn that is super soft with lots of drape. Although, you can use any sport weight yarn that you choose!
