Crochet Project: Faux Sheepskin Poncho
Send Quamut to a friend
Extraordinary novelty yarn gives this crocheted poncho extra appeal.
 
Snuggling into a sheepskin poncho sounds divine, but heavy! Create a pretty facsimile with suede-look yarn that’s easy on the shoulders and almost as cozy as the real thing. This project provides:
  • Step-by-step instructions
  • A helpful assembly diagram

Getting Started

Each of the back and front pieces on this poncho (Motifs A, B, C, and D, 1 and 2) have decreases only on one side. Place a marker on the side of the piece where you will be making your decreases.

The top side pieces (Motif F) have decreases on both sides. You don’t need to place a marker on these pieces. When joining new yarn, join at the end of a row. The even numbered rows are worked on the right side of each piece.
