Seamless Love Free Crochet Capelet Pattern

Seamless Love Free Crochet Capelet Pattern
by Kristin Omdahl

The crochet design explores two of my favorite techniques: seamless crochet and crochet lace. The yoke of the capelet is worked in seamless crochet tile motifs and can easily be made into a scarf instead of the yoke of this capelet. The lower body is crocheted sideways and joined to the yoke, seamlessly of course! There are only 2 ends to weave in per ball used!

What you will need:
550 (750) yards sport weight yarn
or
(2) balls of Be So Sporty Yarn
or
2 (3) balls of Be So Bare Yarn
H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
(5) 1″ buttons, shown in La Mode style #4674
