On Point Poncho - Youth Size 8/10

"One item of clothing I’ve been dreaming of for as long as I can remember? A fitted poncho with sleeves. The On Point Poncho, is fitted, it has sleeves, it’s flowy around the middle, and the fringe adds a whole new dimension! This is a SUPER beginner-friendly poncho. For this pattern you will want to use a lightweight/size 3/DK yarn – and surprisingly little of it! Using a larger hook size than typically recommended for this weight of yarn gives the fabric a fantastic drape. If you would like a more dense, warmer poncho, you could substitute worsted weight yarn instead of the lightweight, but be sure to check your gauge no matter which yarn you choose. As with any crochet project, your yarn choice will affect the outcome of your poncho. For example, if you use a 100% acrylic yarn, the poncho will relax a bit more in the wash than if you were to use a cotton blend. I find that my acrylic versions are more comfortable and roomy compared to the ponchos I’ve made with less stretchy yarn."
