The finished Pelerine

This is the finished Pelerine from Elizabeth Zimmerman's pattern. I used Simply Soft Shadows yarn. It made a such a soft, pretty poncho. I like the way this pattern fits too. You don't think much about a poncho "fitting" but this one looks very nice.

I would like to make a lace version of this one next. I have some natural worsted weight wool that I think would be very elegant. Is that a word that you would use to describe a poncho?
