Lightweight lacy poncho crochet pattern
I’m excited to share another fun but lightweight lacy poncho crochet pattern with you this summer. This top can be styled in two ways and made using any yarn weight!
Why Honeycomb Cover-up Poncho crochet pattern?
This cover-up is the perfect project for all seasons. It was designed and tested using four different yarn weights: sport weight yarn, DK weight yarn, Woven weight yarn, or chunky weight yarn.
So, why not make a top styled like a fall and spring top, a summer beach cover-up, or a poncho in winter?
This top can also be styled differently to fit the outing or your mood.
