Holly Jolly Poncho Crochet Pattern

AD

This poncho pattern work up super fast at just 39 rows total. Of course, you could make one in any other
color and omit the trim to make it a year-round poncho. I’ve already got a tweed one in the works! You’ll
need just over 800 yards of your favorite, bright red worsted weight yarn. I chose Red Heart With Love in
Holly Berry. You will also need one skein of white Bernat Pipsqueak to add the trim. This is an
inexpensive, fun project! If additional length is needed, simply continue adding rows until the length is as
long as you’d like.
