Queen Of Diamonds Poncho
"What sets this poncho apart? Not only is easy to create, but I’ve added sleeves, giving an extra layer of coziness. The sleeves add practicality too – you can go about your day without the edges of the poncho getting in the way! I’ve written the instructions in 4 sections for ease. A classic granny square is worked in section 1. The corners are worked in section 2 (to give the diamond shape) and then the granny square continues in rounds for section 3. In section 4, the poncho pattern is worked in rows to extend the width. The sleeves are crocheted lengthways in the back loop creating a lovely ribbing that is soft and comfortable. Practical and stylish, this poncho is perfect for layering up throughout the seasons. The openness of the granny stitch provides breathability while still giving you a layer of warmth. Wear your poncho over a sweater during the colder months or sleeveless tops during the Summer when you need that extra layer out and about. Layering up over long-sleeved t-shirts in Spring works too. Whatever time of year you’re making yours, the drape and fit is very flattering. "
