The Ladder Stitch Poncho Wrap | Crochet Pattern PDF

You know that feeling when you put something on and suddenly look put-together without really trying? That is this poncho.

The Ladder Stitch Poncho Wrap is light, open, and elegant and the kind of piece you throw on over a plain top and people ask where you bought it.

I made mine in cream and it is one of my favourite things I have crocheted in years.

The best part? It is made from a single rectangle. One piece of crochet that folds and seams into a beautifully draped poncho. No complicated shaping, no counting rows on two pieces, no matching seams. Just one satisfying rectangle and a simple join.

What you will make:

A lacy, lightweight poncho wrap using the Ladder Stitch which is an open, rhythmic stitch that looks intricate but works up quickly once you find the rhythm. Perfect for warm evenings, travelling, or wearing over a summer dress.

Free size that fits most adults comfortably.
