I made this cute little capelet for my younger cousin as a Christmas present. She is only 9, but I made this little caplet big enough to fit me so she’ll be able to wear it for a while. The glittery yarn is actually very soft and nice to work with. The yarn over increases on the body of the capelet make a swirl which is reminiscent of an ice cream cone but with the long ribbed turtle neck and thick yarn you won’t be chilly at all! The caplet I made is only 10 inches long from the base of the neck, so on a smaller child it will be more like a poncho while on a larger child or adult it will fit like a capelet.
