Town and Country Capelet with Crochet Trim

Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

10 sts + 18 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in St st (k every rnd). 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:

Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends, knit or crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

Town and Country Capelet with Crochet Trim Reviewed by Robin S Senecal on 2012-01-31 *****
I have knitted and given away at least 6 of these wonderful little capelets. I added an eyelet row at the top for a crocheted drawstring, and used a picot edge at the bottom instead of fringe.

This is one of the most useful patterns I have ever owned, and the Homespun yarn is beautiful, soft and very warm.
