Capolette

$6.50

Capolette is the lighter-weight version of my original Capo layering top! Part capelet, part poncho, this little layering top is easy to make and fun to wear. And knit up in a lighter sport/DK-weight, it makes a great warm-weather-friendly layering piece.

It’s worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up and uses sport/DK-weight yarn – I used Berroco Remix Light which is a lovely yarn because it’s super light and drapey, perfect for the warmer months. Check out my Capo Tips page for resources & tips. Prefer using a bulky-weight yarn? Check out my original Capo!
