Spring Breeze Crochet Poncho

This Spring Breeze Crochet Poncho is a simple poncho made with basic stitches. It is as easy as crocheting two rectangles and is perfect for a beginner garment.

Let’s talk yarn! I used one of my favorite DK weight yarns for this poncho, CotLin from We Crochet. It is so soft and lightweight. Just perfect for spring/summer garments! Not to mention, there are so many great color options. Any DK weight cotton (or acrylic) would work great for this pattern.
