What better way to make Little Red Riding Hood green with envy than to wear this capelet? No seams and a flattering, feminine lace pattern paired with either a turtleneck or mock turtleneck. Worked this in one piece from the bottom up, the shaping is incorporated into the lace pattern. Stitches for the button bands are picked up and worked along the front edges.
