Crochet Wrap Shawl Poncho?

So easy! So versatile! This crochet wrap shawl poncho…I’m not sure what to call this design because it can be worn as any number of styles. Just throw it over your head and you’re good to go!

Extended Single Crochet

This design uses the oh-so-easy extended single crochet stitch. It is a cool variation on the single crochet. This creates a longer single crochet stitch, when combined with a chain 1 space, results in a pretty open weave.

Use a similar lightweight yarn and you have a comfy crochet top that goes from one season to the next. Wear it over a short sleeve tee, long sleeve tee or tank top. In cooler weather, pop it over a turtleneck and you are good to go! Classic, chic.
