Inspired by blooms and leaves, this little stitch packs a punch in two gorgeous colors.
The Pomona Capelet by Jenny Noto uses just one color at a time, there’s no need for carrying both colors around! This capelet is a bottom-up construction featuring raglan shaping to mimic a sweater. A few short rows to raise the back for comfort are incorporated, but optional. Two options for collar finishing are provided. Shown is the turtleneck/ folded ribbing option. The other option is a cowl neck (not shown).
Includes photo tutorial for the special floral stitch.
