This is an elegant capelet for colder weather. Worked in luxurious wool/silk yarn, its subtle sheen and great stitch definition make the dynamic Art Deco design stand out.

You can choose to fold the collar over twice for a vintage look (photos at top), or simply fold it once to make a relaxed cowl neck (photos at bottom).

Truly versatile, you can keep your shoulders warm at the most formal winter parties, wear it on your daily commute, or simply team with jeans.

This is an easy project, where the focus is on enjoying seeing the design develop. Worked in the round, the pattern includes charted AND written instructions.
