This is an easy wear capelet you can throw on with a pair of jeans or wear over a dress. sections can be added or subtracted for larger or smaller sizes. The vertical lines are flattering and the lace edging adds a bit of whimsy. It can be made to just sit on your shoulder or with a higher neckline.
Note: Any worsted yarn can work, but consider stretch and drape when choosing your yarn.

This pattern has both written instructions and a simple chart. It is easy/intermediate.
