Default How It's Made

I modified a pattern to fit my own designs, so it is a unique "one-off". I called it simply, "Annette's Capelet".
The pattern I borrowed ideas from (mainly how to shape the shoulders) was Yarnspirations "Lacy Knit Capelet" designed by Jodi Snyder. My two main patterns came from "The Japanese Knitting Bible". I really like one that looks like a cathedral window. That's a vertical cable panel on each side on the front. The bottom hem looks like little candle-sticks with a flame on top, also from the Japanese book. Rather than make the back plain Stockinette, I spaced in a bunch of florets to break the monotony. The yoke and collar are done in a moss-stitch. The front two edges are a one-inch Garter stitch.
