✨ New Retro Poncho Drop + Cozy Winter Makes!


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.
