What is inside the pattern?

Instructions and a chart for a woven-rib capelet in sizes S–XXL, with a long turtleneck. An English version is listed.

Is this the right project for me?

Beginner friendly for knitters who can cast on, knit and purl in the round, work knit-two-together decreases through the front and back loops, and bind off.

The woven-rib texture is worked on circular needles. Written and charted directions give you a choice of format.

Finished size & fit

Sizes S–XXL cover a shoulder-and-arm circumference range of approximately 92–127 cm (36.2–50 in).

This is a shoulder-and-arm measurement, not a bust circumference. Compare that measurement with your intended fit before choosing a size.

Materials you will need

Worsted- or aran-weight yarn around 90–100 m per 50 g. Allow approximately 360–540 m depending on size.

The sample uses a wool-and-acrylic blend. Choose a fibre you like against your neck and swatch with that yarn.

5 mm circular needle, 80 cm long, or the size needed for tension; a 4.5–5 mm circular needle, 40 cm long; and one stitch marker.

Wear the collar the way you like it

The long neck is part of the design’s flexibility. Fold it towards the outside, fold it in or roll it twice to change the way the capelet sits.

The woven rib gives a plain colour depth, while the sleeveless shape leaves room for the clothes you want underneath.

How do I receive my pattern?

After payment, download from the order confirmation page or the link in your email. Contact us if you cannot find your file.

What is the refund policy?

Digital purchases are generally non-refundable. If you bought a duplicate or have a problem with your pattern, contact us and we will help.

Is the size range a bust measurement?

No. The stated 92–127 cm range refers to the circumference around the shoulders and arms. Use the measurement specified for the capelet rather than assuming it is a sweater bust range.

Do I have to read a chart?

No. Both written and charted directions are listed for the woven-rib pattern, so you can use the format you prefer.
