Briony Capelet

Discover the Briony Capelet, a stunning top-down shawl knitting pattern that features the innovative technique of color blending or melting. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern not only provides detailed instructions for customization in sizing and yarn usage but also inspires creativity in color choice. Before you start, I encourage you to explore the provided schematics and get a feel for the design!

The Briony Capelet is knit flat in a delightful garter stitch, and it includes an optional i-cord belt for a chic finish, along with playful fringe detailing that adds a whimsical touch. The yoke showcases an elegant eyelet pattern, and after separating, the eyelet motifs intertwine beautifully with slipped stitch ridges, all set against a soft garter stitch background.

To bring this eye-catching piece to life, you’ll need 17 colors or mini skeins, with each approximately 80 yards (73 meters). I highly recommend utilizing a fade kit or experimenting with your favorite scraps to create a truly unique masterpiece. The yardage count conveniently includes the optional belt and fringe components, ensuring you have enough yarn to embellish your capelet as desired.
