PATTERN INFORMATION

This capelet design is knit in the round from the top down beginning with a generous funnel neck collar (knit in the main color in Stockinette Stitch) that folds down to reveal Reverse Stockinette Stitch. The body of the capelet is worked in Stockinette Stitch like a seamless yoke sweater with three sections of increases beginning at the neckline, alternating sections of the circle colorwork pattern (in main color and contrasting color) and a skinny section in the main color. Each colorwork section is larger than the section before. The hem is worked flat on smaller needles in Garter Stitch with side slits to make wearing the capelet more comfortable. A schematic can be found at the end of the pattern.
