Indigo Frost

Discover the stylish charm of Indigo Frost, a beautiful and versatile capelet/poncho designed for modern knitters. This seamless piece is crafted from the top down, featuring a chic loose turtle neck and an engaging 4 Color-Slip-Stitch pattern band on the yoke. The eyelets adorning the body, combined with deep and cute 2x1 ribbings for both the neck and the bottom edge, give this capelet a modern twist on a classic transitional fashion staple. Perfect for layering, the shorter length makes it an essential addition to your wardrobe for any season.

For your project, you will need Cascade 220 Heathers yarn, 100% wool, available in 100g skeins with 230 yards (200 meters) per skein. The main color (MC) requires 4 (4, 5, 5) skeins; the sample is shown in the exquisite Indigo Frost Heather (9559). Additionally, for the contrast colors, you'll need 1 skein each of color A (Walnut Heather - 8013), color B (Birch Heather - 9564), and color C (Antiqued Heather - 9600). It’s essential to note that you will require approximately 27 (32, 35, 45) yards [25 (30, 32, 40) meters] of each contrast color to fulfill the design.

When it comes to your knitting tools, have on hand US 6 (4 mm) circular needles in both 24” (60 cm) and 32” (80 cm) lengths for working on the ribbings and the neck. For the body of the capelet, switch to US 7 (4.5 mm) circular needles, also in 24” (60 cm) and 32” (80 cm) sizes. Ensure your gauge is accurate with 18 stitches and 25 rows equaling 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm) in Stockinette stitch utilizing the larger needle.

The sample garment is designed for size XS/S, perfectly fitting a 31-inch bust. Elevate your knitting skills and wardrobe with the Indigo Frost capelet/poncho, a delightful project that showcases your creativity and craftsmanship while providing a trendy and practical layer for any outfit.
