“Fling it on” Lace Capelet

Description

The look: effortless sophistication, but exuberant

Fling this capelet on over a t-shirt and head out to the store, promenade with your beau or collect
wildflowers into a picturesque basket. For when you would like a hint of warmth around your shoulders
but still would really love to move your arms around.

Notes: This capelet is worked in the round starting at the neck. As you work through the charts the
circumference grows to allow for your shoulders and arms and a comfortable fit. At the end, front and back
are worked separately to create side openings for easy movement.
