The Gemini Capelets
The
Gemini Capelets are not strictly twins, although they have certain aspects
in common and both designs are included in one pattern. What they truly
share is a sense of whimsical and frivolous fun!
Whimsical Capelet above, features an openwork mesh and pretty ruffle.
I-cord ties and knitted balls are strung through the top edge of the mesh
to tie the capelet on.
Frivolous Capelet below, is knit with a special cobweb stitch to create
the openwork lace. Ribbing finishes the top and I-cords with charming
tassels tie the capelet on.
One
skein of Fiddlesticks Knitting hand-dyed Country Silk yarn (250 grams/800
metres), makes both capelets. Or use one skein of Country Silk "Demi"
(125 grams/400 metres) to make one capelet.
Two sizes are given for each capelet, but they are easily adjustable by
loosening or tightening the ties at the top.
Needles: 4.5 mm (US 7) 24-inch circular needles;
4 mm (US 6) 24-inch circular needles;
3.5 mm (US 4) double-pointed needles
or sizes to obtain gauge.
For Frivolous Capelet only:
All of the above plus 6.5 mm (US 10.5) 24-inch circular needles (or two
needles held together to allow for a looser cast on).
Recommended for Advanced Beginner or Intermediate knitters.
