Description: Introducing the *Involute* Capelet, a stunning full-circular knit garment that beautifully pays homage to the intricate geometry of gears. Inspired by the curve that defines the contact edge of gear teeth, this unique design features a lower edging adorned with twenty-four distinct tooth-like points. The square neckline is reminiscent of a gear's square axle opening, adding a striking detail to the overall look. Four elegant "spokes" are seamlessly integrated, separated by exquisite lace panels that evoke the dynamic movement of rotational motion.

The *Involute* Capelet combines garter ridges and delicate eyelet patterns to provide not only texture but also an industrial chic aesthetic that is sure to catch the eye. The carefully chosen color palette is evocative of antique brass, enhancing the garment's steampunk vibe. Whether you don this extraordinary piece as part of an elaborate steampunk ensemble or simply pair it with your favorite T-shirt and jeans, the *Involute* Capelet guarantees you’ll turn heads and spark conversations.

Skill Level: This pattern presents a challenging yet rewarding knitting experience due to its unconventional construction. The capelet is worked side-to-side in rows between the hem and neckline, clockwise in a continuous piece. This innovative approach creates the circular shape through a multitude of short rows, resulting in beautifully curved lace insets. During the "spoke" (lace) sections, three different patterns come together, allowing skilled knitters to showcase their abilities and create a truly standout piece. Dive into the world of knitting with the *Involute* Capelet, where creativity meets craftsmanship!
