Hand Knitting Pattern: Shawl / Wrap: Capelet, Poncho

Yarn weight: Fingering (14 wpi)
Suggested yarn: The Blue Brick POINT PELEE LACE, Songbird Yarn and Fibres LOVE BIRDS sock base

Worked from the neckline down in rows, this relaxing knit will be your favourite “on the go” project. It’s perfect for using up smaller balls of yarn or that one “special” skein. Easy to wear over t-shirts or dresses.
NOTE: A very long circular needle is required in order to hold the extremely large amount of sts that accumulate very quickly. When casting off, you will need approx 3 m / 3.28 yd of yarn for every 100 sts. Ensure you allow for this.

Rated: near beginner
Skills required: patience with large stitch count number, knit/purl, yo, elongated stitches, wet blocking
