Indispensable Capelet

I love the look of this Capelet! It’s such a beautiful yet simple application of Malabrigo Rios. The only hitch is the pattern is written in French, but if you are comfortable with a little translation it’s an easy peasy project! Here are a few hints: rang = round/row, maille/s = stitch/es.

Simply Ribbed Hat

FREE Pattern by Haley Waxberg for Knit-O-Matic

This is a very simply styled hat that anyone and everyone can make and wear. The 1 x 1 rib helps the hat keep it’s shape and gives it a denisity for warmth. If the ribbing seems tight, don’t worry, we are making it tight on purpose because silk has a tendency to grow. We’ve also made it in a 100% merino wool, which is great beacuse it is soft and has lots of body (it’s puffy by nature). If you would like to substitute another yarn, consider going up to a 4mm needle (or a size 0.5mm less than the median suggested size on the ballband).
