Tuscany Capelet

Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this elegant accessory combines artistic flair with effortless style. Knit flat from the bottom up, this graceful capelet features stunning panels of vertical diamonds, skillfully separated by a textured seed stitch that adds depth and character.
