Collar Cowl Capelet

This is a really versatile design. You can make it as a collar or cowl, or decide to give it a bit more length and width to turn it into a capelet. And if you feel really adventurous, adding even more rows to the pattern could turn it into a full blown poncho as well! The pattern helps you make it to your own liking in terms of neck circumference, width and length. I also provide explanations for child sizes (but always recommend measuring!) and for women who are wide chested and usually have problems of fit in the bust zone.

I used 3ply/light fingering variegated yarn of Made by ME in double strands, a 3.5/E hook for the flowers and a 5.5/I hook for the cowl. My testers used Lion Brand Mandala Baby and Premier Yarns DK. I can also imagine it will be stunning when made with a whirl or two. You will need in total between 800 and 1000 meters / 875 to 1100 yards if you use double strands. A photo tutorial shows how to add flowers to the rim.
