Lacey and lightweight poncho.

Yep, that’s right, this lace poncho is breezy and lightweight from crocheted with a big crochet hook and cotton dk-weight yarn.

Moreover, the cotton yarn just gives a beautiful drape to the poncho, as you can see how flowy it looks from the photo, isn’t it?

The purple poncho works up really quickly, and it can be done in one weekend.

How do you crochet a summer poncho?

You can crochet a lightweight poncho for summer by using any of your favorite crochet stitches.

And crocheting a poncho for beginner has never been easier than these 3 simple steps.

Step1. pick your favorite crochet stitches: that you like to make into the poncho can be one stitch for the entire poncho, or you can mix it up with 2 or 3 crochet stitches for your poncho, depending on your creative cuteness.

Step2. crochet a rectangle: mostly a poncho has the easiest construction of all the crochet garments.

Basically, they are made from just one or 2 rectangles, so if you can crochet a rectangle, then you can make a poncho; how simple is that?

Step3. join the rectangle: joining the rectangle either one or two rectangles, and you are all set to fly out with your newly made poncho.

Tip& trick to create lacy look ponchos for beginners.

1. Crochet stitches: pick out some of your favorite crochet lace stitches or open stitches because most of those stitches will make your summer poncho airy and breezy automatic without trying too hard. However, if you go for dense crochet stitch, I still got you covered in the next second tip below.
2. Stitch tension: to archive the lightweight and flowy look of your summer poncho, the crochet stitch tension is quite important; if your crochet stitch is too tight, your poncho is going to be too stiff and not flowy outcome but try to crochet loosely or if you can’t just switch to bigger crochet hook size that will make it easier.
3. Check your gauge: be sure to check your gauge if your girls are following the pattern instruction. We all want your poncho to be a perfect fit and beautiful, aren’t we?
4. Try it on: yep, that’s right, let’s try them long along your process so you can adjust to make it fit for you or add more things to spice up your crochet project.
5. Take a break: Yeah, take lots of breaks along the way because when you come back, you will feel fresh and crocheted them faster; for example, like me, sometimes I just continue all day crocheting without a break and find out that it slows down the process coz I need a big break like a day or a week, or I might not go back to finish it lol.

Well, in this easiest purple crochet poncho-free pattern tutorial,I use 100% cotton yarn with dk weight, or 4 medium weight is fine.

• Cotton yarn: is perfect for summer garments; they are breathable, absorb less heat, and second skin-like.
• Plant fiber content yarn: they are also similar to cotton, so if you have in hand go for it.
