Fall Mesh Poncho - Krissys Over The Mountain Crochet

Fall is in the air and it’s time for all of those fun Fall activities. This lovely mesh poncho would be the perfect item to wear while going on a pumpkin or apple picking venture. Wouldn’t this be beautiful in a fire engine red? You can make this poncho for yourself using easy to find yarn. Here is a link to the free crochet pattern. Follow the instructions, but execute chain 3’s instead of chain 4’s and use a worsted weight yarn. More details are below. You can purchase the “ad free” pdf on ETSY and RAVELRY.

I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.

I consider this to be a beginner friendly crochet pattern.

Click this Link. to find the ch4 version of the pattern that recommends a 3 weight yarn. The 3 weight is lighter and would be perfect for spring. This Fall Poncho uses a 4 weight yarn and you will use CH 3 spaces instead of CH 4 spaces. This is a fast to crochet poncho, but I honestly had to walk away a time or two. Making that many chain 3’s can be monotonous.

One way to wear this poncho is with the peaks at your shoulders, cascading down your arms.

You can also turn the peaks, so that they are cascading down the front. I think this helps to expand the styling of your outfit while on your fall adventures. Since a 4 weight yarn is used it has enough warmth for a fall day.

If you are familiar with the multi stitch Over Brook Poncho then you may be familiar with this neckline.

The lace stitches are a combination of ordinary and unique shells, coupled with a variety of chain spaces. I call that whole sequence the “Over Brook Stitches”.

The lace edge at the bottom matches the stitches at the neckline.

Yes they are the Over Brook Stitches. You will find this same edge on the Over Brook Poncho. If you would like an “ad free” pdf of this poncho, you can find it on ETSY and RAVELRY.

How to Crochet Instructions For The Fall Mesh Poncho

Use a worsted weight yarn follow the Over Brook Mesh Poncho Crochet Pattern. Execute ch 3’s instead of ch 4’s during the mesh portion of the poncho. It’s that easy. Switch to a worsted weight yarn and execute a ch3 instead of a ch4. You can create a shortened version and add fringe if you would like. Remember, you are the artist, crochet patterns are the canvas, yarn is the paint, crochet hooks are the brush. Let your creativity soar!
