Pattern Description from MarnieMacLean.com: “Tied around your waist or wrapped around your shoulders, this light and airy piece will add a flair to any ensemble. It’d be just as beautiful over jeans as over a skirt, though you shouldn’t be surprised if you feel a sudden desire for spanish guitar and tapas

For added versatility, you can work this pattern in almost any yarn you please, though you should consider the recommendations provided below when choosing a yarn. If ponchos are your thing, make two and sew them together along the original chain edge, leaving an opening in the middle for your head.“

Gauge: You will not be required to work to a particular gauge.

Supplies:

  • This piece was worked with Artfiber’s yarn, Mousse, which is now discontinued. While you can choose almost any yarn, I would recommend a light, drapy, ribbon yarn made of rayon or linen. I needed less than 100 grams to complete the whole piece.
  • Crochet hook of a size appropriate to yarn. I used a size E which was slightly smaller than the size normally used for that yarn.
  • Optional: 1-1” button
