The ends are woven in and it’s blocked. All my capelet is missing is the perfect clasp. It’s been surprisingly difficult to track one down. My usual fabric store has a great fabric selection, but its notions leave a lot to be desired. They only stock one metal clasp, and it’s gold and all wrong for this project. I have a few crafty alternatives up my sleeve, but I had my heart set on a metal clasp, so I’m going to keep looking for a bit longer.
My capelet was knit from the bottom up using Sincere Sheep Luminous on 4.5 mm needles. The collar and body were knit separately and then joined using a three needle bind off so it was totally seamless.

I have, somewhat surprisingly, found great clasps at Jo-Ann’s. Although my favorite ever are a set I bought at a ren faire, which isn’t very helpful for you.
Also this is gorgeous and I want one.
I used to always drool over the clasps, shawl pins, and buttons at the Ren Faire, but I haven’t been to one since I moved to Seattle. I should look into that. It might not be an immediate solution, but I feel like I can never have too many notions in my stash.
It’s lovely. What about using a pretty brooch?
This is so beautiful and perfect for Fall. I am cold-natured and I love draping things over my shoulders. This would be functional and elegant at the same time. I hope you find your perfect clasp.
this is really, really lovely! i believe you said a pattern might come from this??? i can hardly wait!
it is beautiful! But I agree, the perfect clasp cannot be rushed. Have you taken a look on Etsy or Ebay? I’m often surprised by what they have on there for finishings like this.
This is stunning! I can’t wait to get my hands on this pattern. So elegant.
Just lovely. Very much hope you release this as a pattern! 🙂
