#desertlife Crochet Poncho Pattern

I named this Crochet Poncho Pattern the  #desertlife Poncho because this is about as cozy as we get here in the desert! It’s still a bit warm around here and I think this is a wearable I can actually wear. I haven’t really been able to wear any of my other makes yet this season. I’m hoping to get some use out of this one!

I’m in love with these neutrals. The colors are gorgeous! I really liked this Shawl in a Ball yarn because it has a thread of sparkle in it. It makes me feel just a bit fancy 😉 The original plan for this poncho was to add fringe and a hood, but once I got to this point I was loving it! I don’t think it needs anything extra. Although some fringe would be pretty awesome and it would be really easy to add along the last row.
