Coralie Poncho

"The Coralie Poncho is a lightweight layering piece featuring graduated stripes worked in the beautiful Arcade stitch. Designed with less volume than a traditional poncho, it has a relaxed fit and an airy drape that makes it comfortable to wear during spring, summer, and the warmer days of autumn. Worked as two identical rectangular panels with no shaping, Coralie is an enjoyable project for confident beginners and a relaxing make for more experienced crocheters. The repeating stitch pattern combines simple chains, single crochet stitches, and double crochet shells to create an open, textured fabric. One of the unique features of this design is the choice of stripe orientation. When assembling your poncho, you can position the narrower stripes at the neckline and allow them to grow wider towards the hem, or reverse the panels so the wider stripes sit at the top. One pattern gives you two different looks, with plenty of opportunity to make Coralie your own through your choice of colours. /DETAILS Skill level : Easy (colour changes take place at the end of rows) US Terminology /MATERIALS 4mm / G-6 Crochet Hook Sport (#2 weight) yarn; Contrasting Colour: 750, (870, 990, 1100) yds Neutral Colour: 600, (696, 792, 888) yds Stitch Markers Tape Measure Scissors Needle /FINISHED SIZE To Fit Chest (inches) Finished Size Width approx.
