Lace Pelerine (poncho)

I finally have enough of my lace pelerine knit to show it off. This is from Elizabeth Zimmerman's pattern with a lace design that I found on the Knit Baby Surprise list. There are 4 panels like this with increases between.

The yarn is the dyeable worsted from Knitpicks. It is really soft, yummy yarn. I am using a 16" long size 10 needle but I need to change to a longer circular soon. This one is getting rather crowded!

My class starts on Tuesday night. I will be teaching how to make the simple stockinette version but I really wanted to show them some other options. I think I have a good start on this to show them what it can do. This is such a versatile pattern.
