A capelet. Or a ponchette?

Whatever you want to call it, I made it! I am disproportionately thrilled with this one because it came out of my head.

A learning experience with (to me at least) glaring imperfections, I know just how to get it right now and, after wearing it for merely a day – I only take it off at night at the moment! 😉 – I have two commissions already, so plenty of opportunity to perfect it.

I especially love the trim: a yarn called ‘Duchessa’ by Laines du Nord, which I knitted around the top and crocheted around the bottom.

When I’ve perfected the pattern, I’ll write it up, but for now, here it is in the making:
