Not only can you wear this lacy flower capelet during the first warm days of spring, but this could easily be an accessory during the hotter days of summer. As beach wear this would look great over a bathing suit.

I really wish there were more pictures of this pattern. I was hoping when I went to the Red Heart site I would find additional notes or pictures but no use. I love the design but not the color choice. I am running to the store to purchase the materials this week end. I have plans for this finished project.

No, I haven't made it yet, but is first on my list! As soon as my yarn order gets here! I was reviewing the pattern, uniqueness of the pattern, the color choices , and the affordability of the yarn used. I love it so far, and believe when I make it, it'll become a 5-star pattern!

Looks New, fresh and. Stunning! Its also ladylike for when you'd love to wear something more dressy than the only thing many begins have mastered in the category of shawls : the triangle granny stitch shawl. I love my granny stitch shawls, but long to crochet flowers joined at their tips to make those fantastic flower motif shawls, and some, well, light and lacy element! But I am not skilled enough and my best efforts at a glider shawl has left me with a whole bunch of colorful, large 12-Petal flower coasters, and dashed dreams. And let's not mention mesh or open work. I get so discouraged. So. i have a gazillion UFO's waiting for me to try again. THIS pattern I KNOW I can do! Andi do believe I'll beef up some skills I've not yet mastered! Bravo to the Double Stitch Twins!
