Fast, easy and satisfying, this pattern is a great quickie to make over a weekend or if you’re jonesing for something warm to wrap around you for fall. It can be worn dressy or casual and makes a terrific little coverup for chilly afternoons at the office. The button capelet also makes a fantastic gift because it looks so impressive but takes so little time to make!

Estelle Designs only distributes yarns in Canada and unfortunately I haven’t yet identified an American distributor of the same yarn. If you would like to purchase some Woolly Bully contact me at info@knitomatic.com, I am happy to ship internationally :-)
