The Dead of Winter Capelet

When I began crocheting, I was amazed at the amount of patterns out there for winter items such as hats, scarves, mitts, etc. But I was also struck with a problem. While beautiful and unique in their own ways, most of those winter items were not suitable for our cold weather climate.
And so, that was my goal with this capelet. Made with super bulky yarn and closely set stitches, this accessory is sure to keep you toasty even in a harsh Manitoba winter.
