Swish and Flick Capelet

*This versatile pattern can be adapted to any size, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels!

Introducing our delightful top-down capelet, designed to be worked flat with stylish raglan-style increases along the shoulders that create a beautiful silhouette. This design not only offers comfort but also allows you to showcase your unique knitting skills.

For the sample, I utilized just under one full skein of the luxurious Teeny Button Studio yarn in the charming colorway: The Owlery. However, feel free to explore any light fingering weight yarn of your choice to personalize your capelet further!

If you prefer your capelet to have a longer and flowier look than the sample shown (for reference, I am 5'3" tall with a bust measurement of approximately 41"), you may need to purchase additional yarn to achieve your desired length.

The techniques featured in this pattern include: a long-tail cast-on for a clean and sturdy start, the knit stitch for a classic texture, the purl stitch for added versatility, and KFB (knit front and back) for seamless single increases that enhance the overall design. These techniques ensure that both novice and experienced knitters can easily follow along and create a stunning finished piece.

Craft your own unique version of this elegant top-down capelet, perfect for layering over your favorite outfits or giving as a thoughtful handmade gift!
