Mari Lynn Patrick begins this capelet with a simple crocheted chain for the neck edge. Then she has fun by working unusual crochet stitches in bands of lacy texture that fall gracefully over the shoulders. Don’t be intimidated by the changing stitches—each one is clearly explained. The increases that shape the capelet are worked as an integral part of each stitch pattern, so the circumference grows with each pattern band. A row of picots around the neck and lower edgings, and a showy vintage button, add the finishing touches.

Finished Size: 54" (138.5 cm) circumference at lower edge, 26" (66 cm) circumference at neck, and 12" (30.5 cm) long, including edging picots.

Yarn: About 412 yd (377 m) of worsted-weight (Medium #4) yarn. We used: Tahki New Tweed (70% merino wool, 15% silk, 11% cotton, 4% viscose; 103 yd [94 m]/50 g): #018 blue tweed, 4 balls.

Hook: Size J/10 (6 mm). Adjust hook size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions: Tapestry needle; one 1" (2.5-cm) button.

Gauge: 13 sc = 4" (10 cm) in single crochet.

Skill level: Intermediate.

Absolutely the most fun and prettiest project I've made in a long while. It was challenging eough without being daunting and the finished product after three nights is gorgeous. My sister's going to love this gift! Thanks for the free pattern ! As to the pattern glitch as previously mentioned. It didn't stump me,just took me a trial of what I thought it should be based on the previous row-wasn't it a chain 5 sc,chain5 or something of the sort and there I was back on track !

I love this pattern. I completed it in a day while taking care of the kids, cooking dinner, doing laundry, cleaning the kitchen, and running to the bank. Probably only a total of about 4 hours though when you figure out all that other stuff I was doing. I was stumped about the (ch1, sc, ch1) but really it should just say to skip the next three sts or skip next ch, sc, and first ch of next ch5...The other problem is in row 17 it says sc in next sc, but there is no sc in row 16. I figued it tomean to sc in top of dc2tog. Once you overcome those two glitches, it's a piece of cake and gorgeous! I did mine in a pretty red. Oh, and I found it only required about 388 yards of yarn. I used two skeins of Bernat Berella "4" Afghan yarn (195 yards each). I thought I would be short, but I actually had about 2 yards left over.
