Starting at the top with a double-knitted chinese-style collar, this versatile capelet uses 2 skeins of complimentary colours of Manos del Uruguay Maxima - a lovely soft and lofty singles yarn.

Pattern calls for 1 skein each of 2 colours. Some suggestions are:
M7910 and M6668 (purple/orange/brown sample on mannikin in photo)
M9032 and M9220 (orange/green/black combo on table in photo)
M9298 and M8881 (blues/grey/black/yellow)
M9644 and 4370 (orange/reds/pinks/yellows)

This pattern will use up almost every gram of yarn in each skein.

Needles required are 16” 4mm/US 6 circulars and 16” and 32” 5mm/US 8 circulars.
1 place marker required to mark beginning of round.

My thanks to Gwen, my test knitter and proud owner of the orange/green/black version in the photo!
