Shelly Poncho

The Shelly Poncho is a made-to-measure crochet pattern featuring shell stitch motifs, which is where the poncho gets its name. The fit and length can be customized to your preference, making it easy to create a version that feels right for you. This poncho is great for all seasons and can be worn over a tank top or short-sleeve shirt in warmer months, or layered over long sleeves when it gets colder. If you love beachy, lightweight crochet pieces, this pattern is a great one to add to your wardrobe! **This listing is for a digital crochet pattern PDF only. No physical item will be shipped.** **The pattern includes:** - 32 pages of detailed instructions - Step-by-step photos - Detailed crochet charts - Made-to-measure construction - Instructions written in US crochet terminology **Size & Fit** This pattern is made to measure, not written in traditional numbered sizes. You’ll use your own body measurements throughout the pattern to determine the width and length of your poncho. Because of this, the Shelly Poncho can easily be customized for: - Your preferred amount of ease - A more fitted or relaxed fit - A cropped or longer finished length - Your preferred overall width and drape **Materials** You will need: - Your chosen yarn 300–500 g of fingering-weight yarn recommended - A crochet hook suitable for your yarn and desired fabric 3.5 mm recommended - Stitch markers - Measuring tape - Scissors - Yarn needle for weaving in ends **Yarn Requirements** Because the Shelly Poncho is made to measure, exact yarn requirements will vary depending on your measurements, chosen yarn, gauge, desired ease, and finished length. I recommend having approximately 300–500 g of fingering-weight yarn available for your project. A longer, wider, or more oversized poncho will naturally require more yarn. For the poncho shown in the model photos, I used approximately 260 g of fingering-weight cotton yarn with a 3.5 mm crochet hook. **Skill Level** Intermediate to advanced This pattern is best suited for crocheters who are comfortable reading written crochet instructions and working repeating stitch patterns. Detailed photos and crochet charts are included to help guide you through the construction. **Pattern Details** - Pattern type: Digital PDF crochet pattern - Sizing: Made to measure - Construction: Two panels joined together - Recommended yarn: Fingering weight - Recommended yarn amount: 300–500 g - Recommended hook: 3.5 mm - Terminology: US crochet terms - Skill level: Intermediate to advanced
