Free Pattern – Twilight Reverie

With the Blueberry Hill shawl, we worked lover’s knots in a rectangle. This capelet uses the same basic stitch, but with added shaping. It’s just the right weight to warm bare shoulders on a breezy spring or summer evening, and can be worn with the opening in front, or over one shoulder. It works up quickly with the Red Heart Boutique Infinity and Twilight yarns. These soft, bulky yarns both have a little hint of metallic sparkle in them too.

Remove the stitch marker as you complete each row, so you can use it again in the next row. Once the pattern is established, you may find you don’t need the markers anymore.

Rnd 11 (edging rnd):

      Yes, on row 1 it’s 55 elk – the reason you’re using the smaller edge lover’s knot stitches all the way across this row is because this edge row is meant to be straight, not zig zag like the later rows. One way to look at it is every stitch that should like straight, either horizontally or vertically, should be an edge stitch. Every stitch that should lie diagonally should be a normal stitch.

      I don’t have a video, but do have a tutorial linked in the recommended resources section 🙂
