Addilyn Capelet

$6.00

The Addilyn Capelet was originally designed and published by Berroco as part of their Portfolio volume 2. 

Wear it like a capelet over your shoulders or have it just drape over your neck like a cowl – Addilyn is versatile and knits up quickly with bulky-weight yarn. There are a few interesting (yet easy!) techniques used in this pattern – tutorials can be found on my Addilyn Tips page.

This is the PDF version of the pattern. After going through the checkout you will receive an email with a downloadable PDF link. If you prefer to purchase through Ravelry, click here.
