This cozy, fringed poncho works up fast with bulky weight (size 5) yarn and a Size N – 9mm crochet hook. Front and back post double crochet and shell stitches create a beautiful cable texture. The poncho is crocheted in two large rectangles that are sewn together and the 6-inch fringe tassels are simply knotted along the edges.

The yarn used in this project is Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek Chunky, available at Hobby Lobby stores. This yarn is at the thinner end of the size 5 category. A thicker size 5 yarn will create a slightly larger poncho.

Materials:
Bulky Weight (size 5) yarn – Soft & Sleek Chunky – 4
Skeins (poncho pictured in Linen)
Crochet Hook: Size N – 9mm
Yarn needle for weaving in ends
