Would you like to have a princess cape or cowl to match your little one’s flowery hat? Ask any little girl and you will hear “Yes, yes, yes!”. And to satisfy your inner girly girl you can make one for yourself too; the capelet sizing goes up to size adult!
The capelet is meant to hug your shoulders gently without adding any bulk for adult sizes; yet there is a room to grow for children sizes.

Too hot for a sweater, but too cold to go without one? Capelet gets you covered!
Perfect accessory whether you need to keep out the morning chill or cover your shoulders while wearing summer dress, fully buttoned or partially open at the neckline or bottom edge :)

The pattern includes options for button or snap closure, and detailed directions on how to attach ribbon (snaps) and decorate the capelet with flowers.

Kveta is a Czech girl’s name (=bloom, flowers).
