Capo

$6.50

Is it a caplet with armholes or a poncho? I think it’s a little bit of both so I named it “Capo”! This simple sleeveless top is a fun layering piece that is super cozy and really easy to make too.

It’s worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up and uses bulky-weight yarn – I used Woolfolk Luft which is a perfect yarn because although it’s bulky-weight it feels light as air when it’s knit up (due to its chainette construction). Prefer using a lighter sport/DK-weight yarn? Check out my Capolette!
