A Tribute to EZ ... a poncho
This elegantly designed poncho begins at the neck and seamlessly works in the round to reveal a beautiful fan edging. It’s a heartfelt tribute to my lifelong knitting mentor, the legendary Elizabeth Zimmermann. Featuring a unique combination of lacy knit patterns and intricate cable work, the design cleverly conceals the increases, ensuring a refined finish. With its perfect five-sided circular shape, the poncho culminates in a solid hem crafted from a lovely fan stitch, interspersed with garter rounds for added texture and charm.
The pattern provides comprehensive instructions, both written and charted, making it accessible for all skill levels. This one-size-fits-all poncho typically requires approximately 420 yards of fingering-weight yarn. The sample showcased is made from the exquisite Schaefer Ann yarn in the captivating “Elizabeth Zimmermann” colorway, perfectly embodying the spirit of this design. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your yarn adventures, this poncho is a delightful addition to any wardrobe, combining functionality with artistic flair.
