Sweaters and Cardigans
This crochet poncho has one of the simplest construction methods ever. Basically, you just crochet one large rectangle, then you seam two ends together to make an asymmetrical poncho. What makes it special is that you begin with a selvage edge foundation chain; there are instructions, including a link to the video. Then you work rows of crochet V-stitch on one side of the chain, turn it around and work rows of shell stitch in the other. This design gives you a different texture on either side of the poncho.
The Genesis Cardigan Free Crochet Pattern
Sweaters and Cardigans
The genesis summer kimono cardigan has a richly varied structure. Also, its beautiful color bands highlight the alternating voids and denser stitches. Overall, it's a beautiful, casual and playful cardi for everyday.
I wanted something colorful and summery, which can be hard to find when crocheting/knitting. This pattern came to be when I was reading the story of Joseph and The Coat of Many Colors. Now, I'm not going to go into the whole story of Jacob gifting the coat to Joseph, But this particular coat meant a lot to the people of this time. A piece of clothing with different colors represented worth and leadership.
Darla Asymmetrical Poncho Free Crochet Pattern
Sweaters and Cardigans
"The Darla Asymmetrical Poncho is an oversized poncho made with a larger hook and a less fancy style but still really elegant looking, basically without all the fuss of a fancy stitch. This stitch pattern is crocheted in vertical stripes using double crochet stitches with chain spaces in between which works up in no time. I wanted the asymmetrical poncho to turn out lighter and more drapey than a heavy fabric so this is why a size 8mm crochet hook was used with an aran yarn. An oversized asymmetrical poncho is a perfect piece to add for the colder months as you can just throw it on over a sweater or a long sleeved top and it will look great on but it is also great for the cooler summer evenings too."
