A delicate dreamy capelet that can be worn in the deep of winter as well as in the spring time when it’s just cold enough to want a bit of fluff around your neck. The two tone neck yoke cable is worked flat and seamed then the rest is continued on circular needles in the round. The two tone section is done in slipped stitch technique, and the lower part features intarsia cables. It’s a perfect project for anyone wanting a bit of a technical challenge but on a smaller scale.
