This feminine, circular capelet, worked in a decorative lacy stitch, is all you need when you take your leisurely stroll through the garden.

Worked in the round, from the top down, it is shaped through a series of regular increases. The generous lower edge, interspersed with Garter Stitch, finishes with a leafy border.

Instructions include two versions: the shoulder capelet (in yellow) and the full-size capelet (in green).

Both capelets are knit with Lucy Neatby’s Celestial Merino (100% wool, 280 m./300 yds. per 100 g. skein). The Shoulder Capelet is shown in colour “Sunbeam”. The Full-Size Capelet is shown in colour “Meadow”.
