Oversized Lean Poncho

Keep the warmth going all year long with this Oversized Lean Poncho crochet pattern. With a crochet wearable that is good for any season, there is no reason not to work up this poncho pattern. The length gives you a lean and flattering style to complement any look and complete your wardrobe. There are even different sizes if you want it to fit just a little bit shorter or longer. Ponchos are a great way to add just a little bit of both warmth and style when you're on the go, at work, or curling up on the couch at home.

NotesPoncho is worked from the lower edge to upper edge as a large rectangle; the Scalloped edging is worked after Poncho is sewn together. There is actually no Back or Front to this Poncho – it may be worn with the pointed end in Back or in Front for 2 entirely different looks. References to Back and Front are for clarification of the instructions only.
