Is it just me, or do you think ponchos are taking the "in" spot in crochet apparel this season?  Everywhere I look lately, I see ponchos!  Especially the sort of Bohemian style poncho... ah, maybe that's what it is!  This particular poncho is very "boho", with it's rustic plaid design and it's fringes. Ponchos are a great accessory for spring, where it's warming up, but not warm enough yet to go without cover; and stylish. That's what it's all about!

Crochet scarves are sometimes the easiest thing to make, but they can look amazing like this particular creation!  By working back and forth in rows and creating a ribbed edging, topped off with fringes and wooden buttons, you get something beautiful like this.  This is a scarf that I would wear all year round!
