Nearly Spring Capelet

Spring is almost here, but you still need a little something to keep the chill off your shoulders. Not too bulky, not too thick, it should slip easily over your shoulders on a warmer day or under a jacket on a chilly one. This uniquely constructed capelet is knit flat beginning at one edge, divides for the neck and is seamed down the opposite shoulder. The sideways construction creates a lot of visual interest as the lines shift from horizontal on one side, to diagonal across the chest and vertical at the end. With 2 sizes available, you can work up your ideal springtime accessory!
