Chanson en Crochet
Design by Mari Lynn Patrick
Mari Lynn Patrick begins this capelet with a simple crocheted chain for the neck edge. Then she has fun by working unusual crochet stitches in bands of lacy texture that fall gracefully over the shoulders. Dont be intimidated by the changing stitcheseach one is clearly explained. The increases that shape the capelet are worked as an integral part of each stitch pattern, so the circum ference grows with each pattern band. A row of picots around the neck and lower edgings, and a showy vintage button, add the finishing touches.
542" (38.5 cm) circumference at lower edge, 26" (66 cm) circumference at neck, and 2" (30.5 cm) long, including edging picots.
