Dear Crocheter, Wrapping up in a handmade shawl or poncho is one of the perks of being a crocheter. Not only can we enjoy creating the project, but also we can showcase our special creations by wearing them! Plus, they make great gifts! Making a crochet blanket isn't hard to do, and once you learn the basic stitches, you can quickly progress from basic—but beautiful—patterns to more intricate designs. Traditional crochet blanket patterns with granny squares or shell stitches are as popular as ever, but you know how creative crocheters are—they like to mix it up! Crochet pattern designers are always creating new variations that surprise and delight us. A real standout is Angèle Lumière's Macoun Leaf Shawl, which features an allover mesh pattern set off by a column of leaf motifs near one edge. It's stunning. Angèle used a deep purplish red yarn that brings to mind the color of a fresh Macoun apple. The color is so appropriate for a shawl named after this apple variety, because its flavor has notes of raspberry. Our repertoire of shawls and ponchos highlight both classic silhouettes and pieces with fresh twists. No matter which pattern you choose, you're sure to receive compliments! This poncho is designed in a peacoat style, with a buttoned front and a handy hood. Its double-breasted design adds a classic touch, and the hood transforms it into a modern wrap. Beautifully crocheted in red, the Cortland Hooded Poncho is in part inspired by bright red Cortland apples. An easily-memorized stitch pattern makes the Cortland Poncho quick to crochet, and you'll appreciate that because you'll want to wear it ASAP! Finish this beauty off with real leather buttons for a touch of tradition. The Red Delicious Ruana is a comfortable, easy-to-wear way to make sure you stay warm this season. Ruanas are open-front ponchos with Central and South American origins. They combine the best features of scarves and ponchos, being loose and long, but the fronts can also be thrown over the shoulder or closed with a beautiful pin. This piece is crocheted in white and red, and it's beginner friendly, too! Grab your hook and yarn and create one of these wonderful, wintry wraps. On those cooler winter evenings when you need some extra layers to keep you warm, the Chai Tea Latte Poncho would be the perfect accessory. It will keep you warm and cozy yet still looking stylish and chic! This poncho features the stitch commonly known as Catherine's Wheel, a textured stitch that is all in one color for a sophisticated look. Inspired by cold nights, the scent of Juniper pine trees, and a warm fire in a log cabin, the Juniper Wrap is so cozy and warm, you'll be wearing it all season. A simple, oversized rectangle, looped fringe, and the moss stitch make this project one you will wear again and again. The stitch design in Cedar Wrap is reminiscent of ripples of light through the cedar trees in winter. Featuring a rich combination of long color repeats with an easy, repetitive stitch pattern, this large cozy wrap is perfect for wintertime. |
