I've been crocheting again... This little capelet, or shoulder warmer as I call it, turned out pretty well, I think. I found the pattern on Ravelry. It's called Wrap Style by Mari Lynn Patrick & can be found here. A closeup view of the back modeled by my twin; she's a much better model than I am. Even though this is a short cape every row is diffferent, so it's not all that quick to work up but definitely worth the time. Y'all know I love picot edges so when I saw it had a picot neckline and lower border I just had to have it. :)The little filigree/ heart shaped button is perfect to complete the vintage look. I found it at my local Hobby Lobby store. Is it just me or does the pattern on the button remind you of a koala bear face?Okay, a little knit content afterall, Y'all.
Ever wonder what size dishcloth you'd get from one whole ball of variegated yarn?
your capelet is just beautiful.have an awesome day
ReplyDeleteI love the shawlette and the button is perfect.
ReplyDeleteHugs!!!
Very vintage! The button is perfect!also like the super-size dishcloth! great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful capelet. I so love the vintage look. The button is the perfect finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I call a "warshrag"...a man size one.
And I promise, I was watching the road. I'm surprised I got any decent pictures...just point the camera in the right direction and hope for the best. lol
Hugs!
Wow, that is beautiful! I love the dishcloth too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! My daughter bought a vintage deep blue crocheted dress made in just the finest yarn at a thrift shop, and looks absolutely stunning in it: she wore it as her going-away dress from her wedding. I can just picture that wrap on top. That's really cool!
ReplyDeleteThe Caplet is great, and I love the Koala button too
ReplyDeleteThose are so popular now. It's beautiful and I love the button!

Love your capelet! Perfect for when you go someplace(like a wedding) dressed up sleeveless and you need a little something over your shoulders with the A/C. Yes...your heart button looks exactly like a koala face :) Nice dishcloth...or mini towel. The hand knit ones are so much better than store bought!
ReplyDeletehappy knitting and crocheting :)
Your capelet is beautiful!!!!
