Description

This cozy, elbow length cabled capelet has beautiful ribbed lines which weave a web from top to bottom. It is a size-inclusive pattern that has an easily customizable length.

The finishing edge may be bound off in the ribbing or using the tubular bind-off method. Links to tutorials for the cast-on and bind-off are included in the pattern.
