About the pattern

Envelop yourself in a richly detailed Tunisian crochet lace capelet with intricate feathery details. This long and flowy capelet covers your shoulders and arms, with full body coverage in the front and back.

The shaping in each feather creates a gentle wave on the edge of the capelet, making it fall in elegant folds, resembling large, flowy sleeves on the side of the body.

The capelet is made up of a variable number of identical wedges that you can repeat more or fewer times for more or less coverage.
