The time for diaphanous and lacy ponchos is drawing to a close. It’s now the season for something more dense, drapey and luxurious. The Alluvium Poncho by I Need It Crochet is a great shoulder wrap with a lovely stitch line, that is a fun and interesting project for those with a bit of experience under the belt.
What Size Is the Alluvium Poncho Designed For?
The poncho comes in 6 sizes and can be adjusted for more if need be. The pattern provides instructions for sizes XS/S to 5X/6X. This way, you can create a thumb-fitting piece that is comfortable to wear and features a flattering drape.
How to Pick the Perfect Yarn for Your Alluvium Poncho
The author recommends Caron SImply Soft, but any yarn of equivalent weight would be fine. Just remember to check your gauge! Worsted-weight yarns will work great for this project, providing warmth and a nice drape. You’ll need approximately 650-1400 yards, depending on the poncho’s size.
Why The Alluvium Poncho Is So Flattering
The Alluvium Poncho design is simple but sophisticated. Combining basic crochet stitches, the pattern develops a gorgeous texture that plays beautifully on the fabric. The line length has been calculated so that the bottom edge falls at or slightly past the elbows, with the peak ending near the hips.
Wear this crochet poncho with a sleek long-sleeve top and jeans for a chic casual style, or layer it over a dress to stay warm at those special evening events.
