Capelet

This beautifully designed small cape is the perfect accessory for complementing a low-cut evening dress or even a stunning strapless wedding gown. Crafted with elegance in mind, this cape begins with the intricate knitting of a delicate lacey frill edging. Next, stitches are carefully picked up along the length of the frill, allowing you to work the main body of the cape in a gorgeous beaded stocking stitch, enhanced with short-row shaping for a refined fit. To finish off this stylish piece, the neck is elegantly tied with a charming knitted rouleau.

This knitting pattern comes in one versatile size, measuring 35 inches (89 centimeters) in length and 9 inches (23 centimeters) in width at the center back, making it an ideal choice for various occasions. The project requires 5mm needles for the main knitting, along with a pair of 4mm double-ended needles specifically for creating the tie. Additionally, to add a touch of sparkle, this pattern incorporates approximately 100 glass seed beads, each measuring 3mm.

Perfect for knitters looking to enhance their evening wear or add a special touch to bridal attire, this cape pattern elegantly blends functionality with style. Whether you're preparing for a wedding, a gala, or a formal event, this small cape will make a stunning addition to your knitting collection.
