Notes

I wanted to make a cowl which would warm my shoulders as well as my neck - and ended up with a capelet!

I cast on 112 stitches an knitted 2-row stripes before starting the top down sweater pattern as written.

I alternated the colours and ended just as I was running out of yarn. Then ended with more 2-row stripes. I inserted a purl row at top and bottom to minimise the amount of rolling at either end.

I quite like the effect (tho it might be more flattering with the neck bit rolled down like a…a cowl…).

It will be interested as to whether I end up wearing it much as it’s not my usual sort of accessory.
