Crochet ponchos are made up of squares or rectangles that are stitched together. In this design, the square begins as a circle, so there is a beautiful mandala design in the center of each square. This design incorporates both open and dense stitches. This makes the poncho warm and gives it a great drape, while also giving you a little bit of airflow.

Wrap yourself up in this blanket-style oversized crochet poncho. It would be perfect for a chilly night sitting in the stands to watch a sports game. The stitches are dense with no open spaces, so no wind will get in to give you a chill. Do note that this is originally a Japanese pattern, so you have to be able to read a crochet symbol chart in order to use it.

This women's poncho is sophisticated thanks to its neutral palette that's enhanced by a few simple black stripes. Made primarily in half double crochet, this poncho is designed to be oversized, so it's a style that's frequently on-trend. Instructions are included to easily change both width and length for a different fit.

Although free crochet poncho patterns are popular in the winter months, you can find designs that will fit your wardrobe all year round. This open mesh lace poncho is the perfect example of a summer wrap.

In this free crochet poncho pattern, there's a small adaptation to the typical shaping-the addition of long, fitted sleeves. This gives you the contemporary style of a poncho with the functionality of a full sweater.

The best thing about a crochet poncho pattern is that it uses really simple shaping-usually just joining a few rectangles. This smart design combines that approach with some added length to create atunic-like silhouette.
