from the designer: “Capelets are related to ponchos - they’re essentially knit like a simple circular yoke, only you don’t have the hassle of attaching the sweater :-). This one is really a poof, goes fast as the wind and feels like a soft warm cloud when you’re done! It’s the winter version of our lacey capelet. It’s completely reversible, although the wonderful texture of the yarn doesn’t show much else, we can hardly tell one side from the other. This based on the yokes of circular sweaters pioneered by Elizabeth Zimmermann in the 60s.”
