Chaperon (Hooded Mantle)
by Greet
Yarn:
Berroco Ultra Alpaca color #6285 ‘Peacock’, 215 yards/skein, 100g. I used 3 skeins to fit me, who’s 5’-7” with a shoulder dimension of 17”.
Needles: US8 (5mm), 36” long.
At least four stitch markers
Some sort of double-ended stitch holder that will hold ~20 stitches.
Notes from the designer, Greet:
This chaperon is knit from the bottom up, in the round. You can start with the body of the mantle first, and add the edging later, which is what I did with the example above, or start with the edging first. If you have any qualms about being able to adapt the repeats of your edging to the hem of your mantle START WITH THE EDGING FIRST. I like to live dangerously.
