This capelet is inspired by traditional sweaters with fair isle yokes. And just like traditional fair isle patterns, no more than two colors are used in a row at any one time. The end result is a stunning piece you’ll want to wear all season long.

Pattern Notes ~ This design starts at the bottom with a deep rib. When following charts, yarn is stranded loosely across the back. Where yarn is carried over more than 4 sts, weave it loosely over and under yarn on WS. As in traditional fairisle patterns, no more than two colors are used in a row at any one time.

Neckline Options: The design pictured has a polo (turtleneck) neckline; for those who don’t like collars high up around their necks, there is an alternative narrow option.
