The R. E. Linwëlin Mantelet Pattern
_______________________________________________

Beautiful Victorian/Medieval hybrid sleeved mantelet pattern is all in one piece and two layers. Inspired by the smoke-filled streets of Sherlock Holmes’ London and the Misty Mountains that preceded them, this mantelet has long sleeves with pleat and ribbon detailing and a button-up adjustable turtle-neck collar.

Will you solve a mystery in this mantelet or will you defeat a band of orcs? Having this pattern leaves the options completely up to you. The cape section drapes over the shoulders for added warmth and dramatic flare.

This is a multi-sized pattern S,M,L and fits busts 36”-40”

Please Remember To Measure Your Biceps Before Knitting Your Garment.
Make adjustments to sleeves accordingly.

Wool-Ease is an Aran weight yarn. If you use a smaller, worsted weight yarn, your project may be far too small. You will have to watch your gauge carefully. If you’re unsure, it will be best to use a heavy worsted or light bulky yarn if you’re not using Wool-Ease for your project
