Eigengrau
This capelet is worked from the bottom up. The bottom ribbing is worked separately for the Back and Front in rows, then joined in the round for the Body of the capelet. The bottom ribbing side seams are sewn during finishing. Another option would be to leave the ribbing open at the sides for a split hem, or you could double the cast on numbers and work in the round from the beginning. I chose to do the Back and Front ribbing separately to avoid the challenge of casting on a large number of stitches and joining without twisting the stitches. The colorwork patterns are presented in chart form only.
finished measurements:
