This lightweight lace poncho is ready for an evening stroll along the boards! The merino wool and silk yarn I chose for this pattern lend a painterly, hand dyed color palette and luxurious hand and drape. Knit using a simple lace pattern, this garment is a perfect boardwalk or festival coverup, dressed up at a beach or outdoor summer wedding, and also makes a great alternative to a light jacket on cool evenings.
