Crochet poncho

🧶 Custom Poncho Project

Hello again, this year started quite busy with custom orders. Today I’d like to show you one of my recent projects — a large poncho.

✨ A Special Order

I think it’s one of the biggest pieces I’ve made so far. It was created for a lovely lady from the UK whom I met on DeviantArt. One day she messaged me with an interesting idea — since I like Himalaya yarns so much, we could make an exchange. She would send me yarn (covering shipping both ways), and I would create a garment for her.

She loves colourful pieces and wears size 44. My mannequin is closer to size 38, so I believe this poncho would look even better on its actual owner.

🧵 Materials & Concept

I received several balls of yarn — all the same type, but in slightly different colours. The idea was to combine them into one cohesive piece, and I had full creative freedom with the design.

For this project, I used about 400g of Himalaya acrylic yarn:
– 1 ball light blue
– 1 ball light grey
– 2 balls of grey, beige and ecru melange

The finished poncho is light and airy, perfect for spring or summer. It has a soft, slightly lacy look and a relaxed, comfortable shape.

I’d love to make another version in the future — something thicker, less open, maybe even with a hood. Ponchos are comfortable, versatile, and easy to wear with almost anything.
