Knit Simple Winter 2011/12 #13 & #14
Design by Mari Lynn Patrick
A standup-collar shaped-rib capelet with a button front and curved hem shares top billing with a jaunty beret. The beret’s full-fashioned shaping—worked from a crocheted circle, with stitches picked up on dpns for knitting in the round—is reversed in the capelet.
