8. Bohemian Fringe Vest and Ponchos

Channel 1970s festival fashion by crafting a lightweight summer poncho or statement vest using open-work granny squares. Because these squares use plenty of double crochets and chain spaces, they work up remarkably fast. Add a generous amount of fringe along the bottom hem for an authentic, free-spirited bohemian aesthetic that is perfect for outdoor concerts and cool evening strolls.
