Who said granny squares can’t look elegant? The Sweet Martine Poncho crochet pattern from DROPS Design proves otherwise! The garment is built up from lace granny squares for the upper section, while the bottom is finished with simple open stitching. It’s a fashionable and comfy piece that you can layer over your tops or even dresses during spring and summer.
How Do I Crochet the Sweet Martine Poncho?
The pattern is worked from the top down staring with the granny squares and then crocheted in rounds. You will create eight lacy squares that are joined together to make up the upper part of the poncho.
Once done, you will start working double crochet stitches in the round from the bottom edge of the squares. For the finishing touch, the last part includes crocheting an elegant lace border.
What Yarn Should I Use For This Poncho Pattern?
The Sweet Martine Poncho was designed for spring and summer, which is why 100% cotton yarn and its blends will work perfectly for this pattern. You can choose Garnstudio DROPS Cotton Light or any other DK-weight yarn accessible to you that offers good drape and breathability.
The poncho showcased in the photos features 150g of off-white color (01) and 400-500g in light beige color (no 21), depending on the garment’s size.
What Sizes Are Available in This Pattern?
The pattern includes four poncho sizes: S/M, L/XL, XXL, and XXXL. The garment holds a loose fit and has a nice, drapey fabric, so you can easily layer it with tops, t-shirts, blouses, and dresses.
