Hiawatha Poncho

This crocheted poncho is rustic, warm and sexy - a unique combination that will have you looking great and feeling cozy as the weather begins to chill. The poncho looks great as a casual statement over a simple sweater with boot-cut jeans, yet would also work with a suede skirt and knee-high boots for a dressier look. It works up fast using a heavy worsted yarn and is crocheted in the round from the top down, in order to provide optimum fit and almost zero finishing. Employed is an interesting and simple technique for weaving separate strands of yarn into the fabric while the poncho is being worked. <strong>Size Information: </strong></span><span class="ProductProperty">Directions are for sizes Medium (XS, S, M, L, 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X) The most significant finished measurement is taken at bust height to include BOTH bust and upper arms (hold arms at sides).
