I had this cashmere purple yarn since months, and didn't know what to do with it!Finally yesterday i had a flash of inspiration, and started making this Cowl neck capelet after drawing down a sketch of what i was imagining.
And voila'! I think it's beautiful, and i'm not sure i want to sell it on my Etsy shop..i think i'll keep it for myself.
It was easy to make, starting from cowl down, so i decided to write the pattern.
Here it is.

ch = chain
dc = double crochet
sl st = slip stitch
sk = skip

Wow! This is gorgeous!! Did you use bulky yarn? And also, I'm a size 16..is there an increase row I could repeat to make this capelet bigger? Thanks for your help!!
Hi and thank you, i love it too!
Yes, i've used a bulky yarn as you can see on the picture,if you're on ravelry you can see other pics of the yarn's detail.
Well,you could try to start with a number of chains bigger and then continue in pattern, repeating increase rounds (8 and 11) twice instead of once.It's been short time that i've started writing patterns so i'm not sure, but try this and let me know if it's ok!
Thank you again!
I absolutley love this capelet and am going to attempt to make it this weekend, your patterns and designs are beautiful and thanks for sharing them!
I have a 8mm hook at home (UK size)?
will regular aran weight yarn be o.k or do I need to by a chunky weight yarn
Hi and thanks for your comment, I hope I'll see soon your capelet!
Well,of course you can make this with an aran weight yarn, but I suggest you to begin with more chains(like 60 or more,try to close the round and wear it from the head and look if it fits!)..
Anyway I've used a very chunky yarn with an 8.00mm hook.
Hope you'll enjoy, and please ask if you have problems or need help!
Thanks again,
Marta
Hi! I'm planning on starting this tomorrow but, I had a question. In the first row it says "* 3dc in next 3ch, ch1, sk 2ch*. " is that 3dc in each of the next 3 ch or just 1dc in each chain? Thank you so much for sharing this pattern with us!
Hi MommaC!
It's 1dc in each of the next 3 chains!
ciao

Hi there, this is great. I'd really like to make this for my 5 year old daughter, but have no idea on how I would modify the pattern. Do you have any tips? Thanks!
