The Cotton Candy Caplet is a quick and enjoyable crochet project designed to add both warmth and colour to chilly days. Featuring a comfortable fit, elegant shaping, and a charming double-button closure, this versatile accessory slips easily over everyday clothing while adding a touch of handmade style.

Worked in rows, the caplet combines practicality with a playful splash of colour. Whether worn on a brisk morning walk, to school pick-up, or simply while enjoying a hot cuppa, Cotton Candy is designed to keep the chill at bay while brightening even the dullest winter day.

The sample shown was created by holding a strand of Naturally Loyal DK wool together with a strand of Cleckheaton Mohair Aran throughout, creating a wonderfully soft fabric with a gentle halo and beautiful warmth. Instructions are also provided with yarn requirements for those wishing to substitute with a single yarn.
