Celestial Sol Poncho Crochet Pattern

Today I am sharing my Celestial Sol Poncho crochet pattern. I absolutely love this custom design because you have couple different ways to wear the Celestial Sol Poncho. Either with the point in the front or turn it so the flat edge is in the front. In addition to how you wear it you can change things up with how you place fringe on it. Therefore, you can use 3 pieces of fringe like designated in the pattern or you can use more pieces per fringe piece to create a thicker fringe. Also, you can place fringe along bottom hem, along the seams that lead to the neckline too! If you are not a fringe lover like you can omit it all together. So the final product is totally up to you.

This pattern has been created using size 4 medium weight yarn with a J/10-6.00 hook. If you are using a size 3 light weight yarn up your hook size to a K/11-6.50 mm hook.

In addition if you would like to create a larger sized poncho just add rounds of granny cluster section. Just keep in mind with each round you will add approximately 4″ per round to overall size.
