Quatrain

This worsted-weight capelet blends all of my favorite elements of knitting: cabling and lace, ribbing and stockinette, all worked in the round in one piece. A quatrain is a type of poem with four lines of alternating rhyme scheme. There are lots of fours in this capelet - four lace patterns down the front, four cable raglan lines that form the base of the shaping, and more. The resulting top is cozy around the neck, shoulders, and upper arms, but not too constricting or heavy. Just right for crisp evenings reading poetry in the park!
