Capelet, Hat, Scarf and Wristlets Set - Capelet Pattern
Lion Brand® Fun Fur® - Lion® Bouclé
GAUGE:
10 sts + 18 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] with B over St st (k every round). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES:
The Capelet trim and the entire Hat, Scarf, and Wristlets are worked holding 2 strands together throughout.

Capelet, Hat, Scarf and Wristlets Set - Capelet Pattern Reviewed by Beth Cook on 2008-09-06
This knitted up pretty fast. But when it says bind off loosely they mean it! Wow the neck was really tight. I actually think I'd like it to be a bit longer though so If I did it again I would make it come past the elbows.
