The look: effortless sophistication, but exuberant

Fling this capelet on over a t-shirt and head out to the store, promenade with your beau or collect wildflowers into a picturesque basket. For when you would like a hint of warmth around your shoulders but still would really love to move your arms around.

This capelet is worked in the round starting at the neck. As you work through the charts the circumference grows to allow for your shoulders and arms and a comfortable fit. At the end, front and back are worked separately to create side openings for easy movement.

There is currently one size in this pattern.
The neckline is 18” in circumference, and the bottom hem is 59.5” in circumference.

It is my goal to add one or two sizes in the future. When I do, purchasers will receive those updates free of charge.
