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