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.

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.
