  • 3 hanks in beige (B)
  • One each sizes 4, 5, & 6 (3.5, 3.75, & 4mm) circular needles, 32”/80cm length or size to obtain gauge

Measurements:

  • Shoulder: 32”/81.5cm

Notes:

  1. The capelet is formed from eight joined modules. Shaping is built into modules through short rows.
  2. Row gauge is very important. The width of the garment will vary if row gauge is off. If a larger size capelet is desired, stitches can be added easily.
