Spinnerin Sarapi No. 35 & 35A Crochet Poncho & Hat

Pure 1970s scale: an oversized color-blocked crochet poncho with coordinating hat, written in variants for “Her” and “Him.” The broad geometric blocks and generous proportions create a deliberately dramatic drape.

Original Sizing

Construction & Technique

Large color-blocked crochet panels join into an oversized poncho with a neckline opening; matching hat instructions are included.

Modern Maker’s Notes

Measure intended length and coverage before choosing the variant. Swatch and hang the washed sample because a heavier modern yarn can make this very large garment cumbersome. Keep colors within yarns of similar stretch and wash behavior, and check neck opening depth before final joining.
