Free Poncho Crochet Patterns From Donna's Crochet Designs

The first pattern in my set of three picks is a Granny Square Poncho. Pattern here.

The squares are made with thread and then sewn together to make the poncho. It's a great take along project and because it is made with thread it's light in weight and can be worn throughout the year.

The next is a poncho made using both #4 yarn and chunky chenille thread. It is in larger sizes for ladies: L-XXL. It is done in alternating rows of sold crochet and loops so it can be worn year round too!. You can find the pattern here.

The last of the tree is this turtle neck shorty poncho. You can find the pattern here.

Great project to use chunky yarns. You can wear the collar up.

Or wear the collar down. It's a great pattern for the beginner.

Free Top, Lace Shrug and Matching Purse Crochet Pattern Set

This week's free pattern is really 3 patterns: Peppercorn Top, Shrug & Purse Set. You can find the pattern here.

The top and purse is made with 100 percent cotton Sugar 'N Cream yarn by the name of Peppercorn. It is a yarn most people use to make dish cloths and scrubbers. I thought it would be interesting to take the yarn out of the kitchen and into your closet.

The top is in a halter style with lace straps and lace covered front.

The shrug (as well as the lace trims) is made with size 10 crochet thread but with a larger than normal crochet hook: Size E. This makes the shrug and lace faster to make and very light in weight.

Here is the detail of the lace used for the shrug and lace trim.
