Fallen Leaves Poncho Crochet Pattern

Today I am sharing my NEW pattern for Fallen Leaves Poncho. So who doesn’t love fall outer wear. This pattern is an easy level pattern with both written and image tutorials. In addition I used Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn for this poncho as I love the colors available, however you can use any size 4-med weight yarn. Also I used approximately 756 yards of yarn total including fringe. Also you will also need a I/9 hook, scissors and yarn needle. I love the lace look of this poncho as well as it has that Bohemian vibe too! This gives you the best of both worlds if you ask me. The pattern is a 7 row repeat so it is easy to memorize for ease of creating. So check out the pattern below.
