Valley Yarns Southwick’s cotton and bamboo blend gives this shoulder-warming capelet lovely drape and movement. It’s the perfect spring accessory for beginning knitters who enjoy a stress-free challenge, combining a simple but elegant lace stitch pattern with equally simple construction. Wear it loosely around the neck, or pull down for off-the-shoulder style. This capelet is worked in the round in one piece in an allover lace pattern from hem to neck. Short-row shoulder shaping ensures better fit and drape on the body. Minimal seaming is at the shoulders only.
