Hey friends! I’ve got something super fun for you this week, and if you’re into those scrappy vintage granny vibes, you’re gonna love it. I just released a FREE Retro Granny Stripe Crochet Poncho Pattern, and honestly… I’m obsessed with how it turned out. It’s bright, funky, changes colors every round, and it gives off major “cool grandma but make it fashion” energy. This poncho is beginner-friendly, works up fast, and is one of those rhythmic, zone-out-and-crochet projects we all need right now. And yes—there’s a free color chart so you can follow my exact retro palette or go full scrappy chaos. You do you. If you prefer to print patterns or keep them saved on your tablet, I also dropped the digital PDF version in my shop. No ads, clean layout, easy to follow. As always, thanks for being part of my cozy little corner of the internet. I love sharing these patterns with you, and it makes my day every time you tag me in your makes. Keep sending those pics—I want to see your poncho colors! Need to buy new yarn? Here's a 15% off discount code for Crochet.com. It's a great online shop for yarns, hooks and other accessories.

In the post, I’m reviewing the Brightly quilt pattern from Cluck Cluck Sew and talking honestly about: Why this pattern worked so well for a beginner Cutting lots of different fabric sizes (and why that’s actually a good thing) What “scant 1/4 inch seam” means now (not what I thought it meant back then 😅) Why...
