SIZE: One Size
About 14 x 40 in. (35.5 x 101.5 cm)
GAUGE:
1 Motif = about 6 in. (15 cm) across.
When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch
STITCH EXPLANATION:
***********************************************************************
rev sc (reverse single crochet) Single crochet worked from left to right (right to left, if left-handed). Insert hook into next stitch to the right (left), under loop on hook, and draw up a loop. Yarn over and draw through all loops on hook.
************************************************************************
NOTES:
1. 12 Full Motifs and 5 Half Motifs are worked separately, then sewn together following a diagram to make the Capelet.
2. We’ve provided a stitch diagram to help you make the Motifs.
3. Edging is worked around the outside edge of the Capelet.
4. Rhinestone beads are sewn onto Capelet with sewing needle and thread.
FULL MOTIF (make 12)
Ch 8; join with sl st in first ch to form a ring.
Rnd 1 (RS): Ch 1, work 12 sc in ring; join with a sl st in first sc.
Spoke 1
Row 1 (RS): Ch 12, sc in 2nd ch from hook, 2 sc in each of next 9 ch, sc in last ch, sl st in next sc of Rnd 1 – you will have 20 sc in Spoke 1 at the end of this row.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn, working through back loops only, sc in each st to end.
Row 3: Ch 1, turn, working through back loops only, sc in first 4 sc, (ch 3, sc in next 4 sc) 4 times, sl st in next sc of Rnd 1.
Spokes 2-5
Ch 11, sl st in 2nd ch-3 sp (from center) of previous Spoke.
Row 1 (RS): Ch 1, turn, sk sl st, sc in first ch, 2 sc in each of next 9 ch, sc in next ch, sl st in next sc of Rnd 1.
Rows 2 and 3: Work same as Rows 2 and 3 of Spoke 1.
Spoke 6
Ch 11, sl st in 2nd ch-3 sp (from center) of previous Spoke.
Rows 1 and 2: Work same as Rows 1 and 2 of Spoke 2.
Row 3: Ch 1, turn, working through back loops only, sc in first 4 sc, (ch 3, sc in next 4 sc) twice, ch 1, sl st in tip of Spoke 1, ch 1, sc in next 4 sc, ch 3, sc in last 4 sc, sl st in first sc of Rnd 1.
Fasten off.
HALF MOTIF (make 5)
Work same as Full Motif through Spoke 3.
At the end of Spoke 3, sl st in next sc of Rnd 1, then sl st in tip of Spoke 1.
Fasten off.
FINISHING
Following the diagram, arrange Motifs onto a flat surface. With yarn threaded into blunt needle sew the Motifs together wherever the edges touch.
Edging
Rnd 1 (RS): From RS, join yarn with an sc in tip of any Spoke, *sc in each st and 2 sc in each ch-3 sp to next Spoke, ch 4, sc in tip of next Spoke; rep from * around; join with sl st in first sc.
Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in each st and 5 sc in each ch-4 sp around; join with sl st in first sc.
Rnds 3-5: Ch 1, sc in each st around; join with sl st in first sc.
Rnd 6: Ch 1, rev sc in each st around; join with sl st in first sc.
Fasten off.
Weave in ends.
Beads
With sewing needle and thread, sew 1 large bead in the center of each Motif and, following diagram, sew 6 small beads along right edge of Capelet.
Use the small beads as buttons, buttoning them into the spaces between sts as desired.
