Welsh Poncho Free Crochet Pattern

Welsh Poncho Free Crochet Pattern

 

 

Are you looking to add a little luxury to your wardrobe?  Well, using the Welsh Poncho Free Crochet Pattern will help you achieve just that!

The Welsh Poncho Crochet Pattern uses a crochet stitch that I fell in love with last year, the Triad Stitch.  The Triad Stitch is just like a Puff Stitch, only it is done over 3 stitches.

The Triad Stitch has one meaning that I fell in love with, this is where I came up with it’s name Welsh.  Triad means a Welsh form of literary composition with an arrangement of subjects or statements in groups of three.

If you think about a crochet pattern it is made up of 3 things:

  • using crochet stitches to create the design
  • a composition of writing the crochet pattern
  • taking pictures to showcase the design

I first used the Triad Stitch in my Welsh Braided Cowl Crochet Pattern (see info below)  In the designing of the Welsh Braided Cowl I using another meaning of Triad, the braiding of three things together, this is where the Braided part of the design came in.  You can find out more about this below.

This kind of sounds like an English lesson, doesn’t it?!  lol
