crocheted ponchos patterns

The 70’s Crocheted Poncho look is back! The poncho has now taken center-stage. It’s the latest rage on the fashion scene.


In the 70’s, the Poncho existed in just about every possible variation – from the crochet to the more rustic Eastwood style Mexican Poncho that became very popular at the time.

Today’s fashion scenario offers poncho patterns in 6 designs; three for knitting and three for crochet.

Worked in Chenille yarn, Purple Poetry is a crochet pattern having a long ”V” shape in the front and back of the poncho. A knit poncho with cable running through with a hood worked, as a part of it is known as Cozy and Cabled, a pattern that gives a warm and comfortable appearance. The criss-cross type of appearance is part of the crocheted Chenille Glamour, while the Purple Poetry accents a vertical appearance. Another knit pattern called Ultra Fun is short with a fringe around the edge and features the stockinette stitch. There’s yet another pattern for a poncho called the Evening Sonnet, and as its name suggests looks soft and romantic. A crochet pattern that’s reminiscent of the poncho Clint Eastwood wore in spaghetti westerns a few decades back is known as the South West serape
poncho.

There are some great designs on the cards for Spring/Summer 2004. Take a look at this beautiful Airy design called the Olive Garden which features a beautiful Olive Tree inspired neckline and border, while the Touch of Egypt comes with a Lotus Neckline; the Vintage style trellis crochet poncho… and a whole gamut of designs.

Crocheted poncho is extremely versatile. It can be worn any which way one chooses – on the shoulder, off-shoulder or one shoulder. It’s perfect for the warm weather, providing an additional layer over a skimpy top or halter. You can wear it with a pair of jeans for a casual look or dress it up with a skirt. Look hip and happening with it.
