A Tribute to EZ ... a poncho
Introducing our stunning poncho pattern, a beautiful homage to my life-long knitting mentor, the legendary Elizabeth Zimmermann. This unique design starts at the neck and is crafted in the round, featuring a sophisticated fan edging that adds a touch of elegance. Perfect for knitters looking to create a versatile and stylish piece, this poncho showcases a delightful combination of lacy motifs and intricately placed cable patterns, cleverly concealing the necessary increases.
The poncho forms a flawless five-sided circle that culminates in a solid hem, adorned with a lovely fan stitch and complemented by garter rounds, making it a must-have addition to any knitwear collection. Ideal for wearing during transitional seasons or cozying up indoors, this versatile accessory is sure to enchant both knitters and those who receive it as a gift.
This one-size-fits-all poncho pattern offers comprehensive directions that are both written and charted for ease of use. Designed to be accessible for knitters of various skill levels, it requires approximately 420 yards of fingering-weight yarn—perfect for showcasing beautiful colorways. The sample featured is made with Schaefer Ann in the lovely “Elizabeth Zimmermann” colorway, which pays tribute to the famous knitter's legacy.
