Alexandra Capelet

The **Alexandra Capelet** is a stunning knitting pattern that was originally crafted as a heartfelt birthday gift for my younger sister. She adored it so much that she eagerly requested another one in a different colour palette! This beautiful capelet features a traditional Shetland lace and rib pattern, skillfully worked entirely in the round from the bottom up. The design incorporates a simple yet eye-catching **8-colour stripe sequence**, making it a perfect project to utilize those odds and ends of yarn you may have accumulated. Whether you want to dive into your stash or explore new yarn textures, the Alexandra Capelet is incredibly versatile; you can choose to use as many or as few colours as your creativity allows, making it an excellent stash buster! This delightful pattern requires approximately **60-65g of the main shade** and around **120-140g of contrast colours**, providing flexibility in style and cost. Perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters, this capelet not only adds a stylish touch to any outfit but also serves as a fantastic way to practice your knitting skills. A huge thank you goes out to my amazing test knitters—Coryna, Laura, Linda, Marci, and Jennifer—for their invaluable advice and support throughout the design process.
