The Snowdrift Poncho Scarf is the kind of project that makes you want to grab a cozy skein of yarn and settle in with your hook. Made with bulky #6 yarn, this poncho has a relaxed shape that is easy to layer over a shirt or sweater. The generous fringe adds a playful finishing touch and gives the poncho plenty of movement when you wear it.
Rather than working a complicated garment in separate pieces, the poncho is crocheted from the top down. You’ll begin at the neckline and gradually work your way toward the bottom, making it easy to see the poncho develop as you crochet.

The stitch pattern changes along the way, keeping the project interesting without making it overly complicated.
I especially love the way the different textures work together. The upper portion has an open, airy stitch pattern, while the lower section uses front post and back post double crochet stitches to create a more defined ribbed texture.
Then comes the fringe, which adds just the right amount of softness and movement. I was able to crochet my Snowdrift Poncho in a weekend, making it a satisfying project when you want to see results fairly quickly.
The pattern includes six sizes, from Small through 3X Large. The neckline also has a little flexibility when you join the two ends, allowing you to adjust the opening slightly if you prefer a roomier fit.
With its simple construction, chunky yarn, contrasting textures, and generous fringe, the Snowdrift Poncho is a cozy handmade layer you’ll reach for all season long.
