Library Capelet

close-up of lower edge of knitted capelet August 2015 I purchased two skeins of this yarn at the Fremont County Fiber Arts Guild Fiber Fest in 2014 because I loved the color variation in the skein. The DK weight yarn knit beautifully into a child-size capelet, and I love how the yarn striped. Knitted Child's Capelet August 2015 Pattern: Library Capelet (free pattern on Lion Brand website) or Ravelry link Yarn:  James C. Brett - Woodlander  (80% acrylic, 20% wool - shade L7) Needles: size 9 No te: the pattern is written for Homespun yarn, which is considered a bulky weight. If knit with the specified weight of yarn and needle size called for in the pattern, this should an adult-sized capelet. This capelet is going in the donation box along with a matching hat made from the yarn remnants.

Neglected Project

This capelet was started nearly two years ago and has been neglected. I hope to finish it this month: I have eight inches of the ten-row repeat knit, but the pattern calls for fourteen inches before knitting the collar section. I purchased the huge hank of yarn at the Reno show in 2012 because I thought it would complement almost anything that I wear. Yarn: Superwash wool purchased in the vendor's display at the Reno show in 2012. Pattern: Capelet #4 in Red Heart Pattern brochure Let's Wrap Needles: Knit Picks Options sizes 9 and 10.5
