A beautiful crocheted sweater poncho or ‘swoncho’. Small triangles combined with interesting stitch patterns create a colourful and fun piece of clothing. The cuffs are made of triangles with flowers.

The pattern gives clear instructions for each round, with photos for the more intricate parts. It also gives instructions on how to use the colour changing yarn, in terms of when to use a darker of lighter shade.

It’s a one size fits all pattern; you can easily make it shorter or longer by adding rounds.

The neckline is made of triangles with flowers, on top of those the yoke is crocheted. The main body is then added to the bottom of the flower triangles.

Measurements taken of the swoncho laying flat:

Width neckline: 8.7 inch/ 22 cm, so total circumference is 17.4 inch/44cm
Total width at the widest point: 46 inch/ 117 cm NB: this is measured flat, total circumference is 2 x 46 inch = 92 inch!
Total length: 19 inch/ 48 cm
