2 // Security Blanket – Embrace Cozy Comfort

This crochet trend is about infusing the soothing warmth of home into your attire with cozy ponchos and generously sized scarves. Ponchos should mix function and style, like the cowl necked Tunisian crochet Hot Cocoa Poncho. For scarves, go big, like the fringed Willow Scarf from All About Ami. Elevate the look with thigh-high boots, mini skirts, and wide-brim hats. While keeping ponchos minimalist works wonders, infusing pops of color or finishing touches like beads and fringe can add a unique twist.
