Who doesn’t love the TV series Outlander! The costumes are brilliant and after re-watching the series from the beginning, i decided that some of the mohair yarn that I had in my stash could be put to good use. I spotted Geillis wearing a grey capelet and thought I may try my hand at one of my own design.

This is a superwarm!

Yarn selection does make a huge difference to the finished capelet with this project. Personally I feel that a fluffy or mohair look yarn used as one of the yarns, creates a fabulous result.

I used Stylecraft dk and Robin Dynasty Mohair in Aran held together.

The pattern uses simple stitches and a pattern repeat..
