Another campfire knit project; ie. perfect to wear while sitting by the campfire. This capelet spices things up by dividing simple stockinette “sleeve” sections with a repeating lace pattern. The reverse side is even pretty. Capelet is worked from the top down with raglan shaping and extends to elbow length. Several sizes given in the pattern.
