Gemini Capelets
Gemini Capelets
from Fiddlesticks Knitting

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.
Fiddlesticks Knitting hand-dyed Country Silk yarn is a luxurious blend of 50% wool and 30% silk, with 20% nylon for strength.

Two sizes are given for each capelet, but they are easily adjustable by loosening or tightening the ties at the top.

NOTE: Fiddlesticks Patterns use charts.
There are detailed instructions on the garment construction, how to work the charts and special stitches, but the stitch pattern designs are all charted.

Recommended needle size:
