Have you seen
this capelet from Anthropologie's Winter '05 collection? I think I figured out the pattern...Here are some photos of my interpretation, and the pattern. It's really easy (I started on Saturday!)
I used 1 ½ balls of Rowan Polar on size 11 needles. (gauge = 12 st and 16 rows over 4”)
CO 49 st
1 x 1 rib for 2 inches to create neckline
Raglan Increases: (you will need 4 stitch markers to separate the body into 5 sections: left front, left sleeve, back, right sleeve, right front)
Row 1, RS: k2, p6, yo, pm, p1, yo, p7, yo, pm, p1, yo,
p15, yo, pm, p1, yo, p7, yo, pm, p1, yo, p6, k2
Row 2 and all WS rows: knit all stitches
Row 3 and all RS rows: k2, *p to next marker, yo, sl marker,
p1, yo* repeat from * 3 more times, p until last 2 st, k2
Continue raglan increases until sleeve measures the circumference of your upper arm. End with a WS row.
Split sleeves and body:RS: k2, p to 1st marker, move all st from 1st to 2nd marker onto scrap yarn (right sleeve). P to 3rd marker. Move all st from 3rd to 4th marker onto another piece of scrap yarn (left sleeve). P to last 2 st, k2.
WS: Knit all st
Continue in reverse stockinette stitch for 4 more rows
Switch to 1 x 1 rib, for 5 rows. BO all st
Sleeves:Pick up all st from scrap yarn.
Work back and forth in 1 x 1 rib for 5 rows. BO all st
Seam ribbing on sleeves
That’s it, you’re done! This is easy, I swear!
Finish with a pin at the neck, or sew a button on, whatever you want!
The other cool thing about this, is it’s reversible! I like the reverse st side better, it’s more vintage looking.
Here are some detail shots:
Thanks for looking!
Edit: oops...late night stitch counting leaves one (very important one) out...and adds one where it doesn't belong!
