A poncho is something easy to throw on over your outfit to keep your arms and torso warm in chilly weather. It can also be used to dress up your outfit for a special event. Caron Crystal Cakes have a beautiful mix of colors and a metallic thread at the core that will help you do that.

This pattern is Advanced Beginner. It uses basic stitches except for front post double crochet. The lacy sections stay the same throughout the project, but the solid sections grow with each row. This creates two distinct ways to wear this versatile accessory. The scallop shells on the last row creates a lovely border to finish it off.

You will need:

• 1 cake of Caron Crystal Cakes or about 600 yards of any #4 medium weight yarn.
• 6.5mm hook
