This design reflects glamour for the little ones. It is crochet using the Tunisian crochet technique; the shell stitch makes a beautiful lower edge by itself and gives it a very interesting texture. The neckline is done using a rib 2x2 pattern achieved with a combination of Tunisian knit stitch and Tunisian purl stitch. The capelet is worked from the bottom up in one piece. Before starting the neckline is necessary to decrease some stitches for a proper fit. A vintage button adds the finishing touch.
