Perfectly Panache Chic Poncho

The Perfectly Panache Chic Poncho is a one-size-fits-all design that features a turtleneck for warmth and maximum coziness. This intermediate pattern features gorgeous shell motifs and is worked up using basic single and double crochet stitches and is slightly oversized so it covers your arms. Make this in the featured rich purple shade, or choose your own color - this would look so great in a standard neutral that can go with anything in your closet!
