A small cape seamlessly worked in the round, perfect for adding some warmth around the neck and shoulder leaving a complete freedom in movements.
Elena is characterized by an intriguing textured pattern both on the front and on the back.

The work is started from the top of the cowl neck, going down to the raglan-shaped shoulder and then to the border, worked in another pattern that seamlessly flows from the original one.

Shoulders are worked in a simple p5/k1 tbl rib that underlines the increases and the overall construction.
Contrasting beads are used to add a touch of color and light (optional).
