Capelet, Shoulder Warmer, A Necessity!


Capelets are the latest craze in the knitting and crocheting world. They are especially handy, just in case you are in an air conditioned event and your shoulders are chilly in your strapless gown! I went to a convention and a woman at my banquet table was so cold that she put her linen napkin on her shoulders!


This capelet is the latest handknit item from Fiona Couture Designs. It was knit with raspberry colored yarn from New Zealand, which is 100% wool. The capelet has a large floral matching button and detachable matching silk flower pin. The size is woman's medium; fits bust 36-39."
Feel free to stop by my Etsy store to see other Fiona Couture knitted items. Take care.
