Materials Required

Yarn Details

This pattern uses Cascade Yarns Tangier in the Cavern colorway, a medium worsted weight yarn that provides excellent stitch definition and drape. The aran weight classification ensures the finished capelet cowl has adequate warmth while remaining lightweight enough for layering. The yardage requirements are generous enough to allow for creative color choices or yarn substitutions of similar weight and yardage.
