Lori Poncho Crochet Pattern

This is the crochet pattern needed to make the Lori Poncho. The poncho body is made all in ONE piece with zero sewing needed. The hood is completely optional, as is the fringe. 

This poncho pattern contains instructions for two sizes: "One Size" and "Plus Size". Sizes XS - 1XL will need the "one size" and sizes 2XL - 5XL will need the "Plus Size". 

Yarn choices vary greatly for this pattern. You can use a size 2 OR size 3 OR size 4 yarn. The thinner the yarn, the more delicate and lightweight the poncho will be. The thicker the yarn, the more dense and warm the poncho will be. If you choose a warmer poncho (size 4 yarn) you will need 25% more yarn on average.

"Size 2/Sport or Size 3/DK weight yarn 
-approx. (1750, 2700) yards for body 
-approx. (100, 150) yards for fringe 
optional -approx. (370) yards for hood – optional 
Note! If you choose size 4/worsted weight yarn, you will need to bump these yardage amounts by about 15%! I needed 1950 yards (an extra 200) for the body.  Crochet hook size 5mm through 7mm depending on yarn used.
