The Gemini Capelets are not strictly twins, although they have certain aspects in common and both designs are included in one pattern. What they truly share is a sense of whimsical and frivolous fun!
Whimsical Capelet above, features an openwork mesh and pretty ruffle. I-cord ties and knitted balls are strung through the top edge of the mesh to tie the capelet on.
Frivolous Capelet below, is knit with a special cobweb stitch to create the openwork lace. Ribbing finishes the top and I-cords with charming tassels tie the capelet on.
One skein of Fiddlesticks Knitting hand-dyed Country Silk yarn (250 grams/800 metres), makes both capelets.
Or use one skein of Country Silk "Demi" (125 grams/400 metres) to make one capelet.
Fiddlesticks Knitting hand-dyed Country Silk yarn is a luxurious blend of 50% wool and 30% silk, with 20% nylon for strength.
Two sizes are given for each capelet, but they are easily adjustable by loosening or tightening the ties at the top.

4.5 mm (US 7) 24-inch circular needles;
