Field Guide No. 9: Revolution features yarns and cables that are interchangeable from capelet to cardigan to pullover—that’s revolutionary.

We had a bit of a time classifying this garment. Is it a cowl? A ruff? A neck napkin? It’s long enough, and stylish enough, that we settled on capelet. Whatever you call it, it’s just the thing to wear under a coat, for warmth without bulk. It’s a versatile addition to any wardrobe, and a gift that is sure to fit.

We proudly present the world’s first yoke sweater that is all yoke and no sweater. The yoke is the fun part of knitting a yoke sweater, especially so in this case, with pairs of cables that undulate instead of twist; they are easy to work but out of the ordinary.

Notes
The capelet is worked in the round from the top down.
Place markers between Cable Pattern repeats to track position in pattern.
