Chevron Vibes is a cozy and soft cowl-necked cape with chevron stripes. We used some of our favorite colors of Chelsea Luxe yarns mixed with matching mini skeins of mohair to create a vibrant color combination in this fun piece. You can use any number of colors in this design to create your own custom chevron stripe pattern.

Construction Details
Chevron Vibes is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down. The top of the piece is worked in Stockinette Stitch with closed eyelet increasing. The chevron pattern is created by strategically placed increases and decreases while striping four colors of yarn. There is increasing at other intervals in the chevron pattern to create an A-line shape.
