Crochet Poncho Progress: One Week Update

TLDRIn the past week, I've made significant progress on my crochet poncho. I finished the mock turtleneck neck and started working on the treble crochet groups. I'm super excited about the texture and the warmth it will provide while still being breathable. Stay tuned for more updates!

Key insights

🧶I decided to make a crochet poncho inspired by a beautiful one I saw at a market.

🌈I chose a lovely combination of colors, including antique teal, cream, and variegated teal, to match my branding and personal style.

👩‍💻I followed a free YouTube tutorial to create the poncho, making adjustments for the weight of the yarn I used.

🧣Instead of a full cowl neck, I opted for a mock turtleneck to provide warmth without feeling too tight.

🌸I'm loving the texture created by the front post and back post treble crochet groups, and it adds a boho vibe to the poncho.
