Plumaria capelet

A sublime accessory for all occasions, the Tunisian crochet fabric drapes gently over the back and shoulders for a light but warm capelet.

Plumaria is an intermediate Tunisian crochet lace pattern with a sideways construction and short rows used for shaping.

The feathers are all identical and can be repeated more of fewer times, depending on how wide you want to make your capelet.

The pattern includes full instructions and a chart.

When using the same yarn and making the same amount of feathers as in the sample (14 feathers), the capelet measures about 70 cm around the neckline and 250 cm along the outer edge.

It features an optional button at the neck so you can keep the capelet closed.

The light lavender color was chosen to reflect the ethereal aesthetic, but you can definitely have fun with choosing deeper, more saturated colors or even a symmetrical gradient, like those in some Advent calendar sets.
