The Cloud Caplet evokes the loveliness of puffy clouds and spring blooms with a lightweight air of open stitching and delicate curves. This caplet can be knit with many different types of yarn for a unique finished garment every time! In this pattern I offer two different yarn options that will give you a slightly different finished garment.

Option 1 is a lightweight caplet, ideal as a spring and summer coverup, or as a beautiful wedding shawl.

Option 2 is a bulkier weight garment that is perfect for fall and winter weddings, outings, or dining al fresco on a chilly spring or summer evening.

Of course, you can choose your own yarn (or yarn pairings) and create a unique caplet!

Finished measurements (will vary slightly, depending on the yarn chosen):
Circumference at bottom hem: 48-50”
13-14“ wide at top hem (approximate circumference of 26-28”)
10-11” from top to bottom hem

Skill level: advanced beginner
