For my Undone Capelet, I made a video to demonstrate how to perform a one-row self-reinforcing buttonhole.
The video works row 5 of the pattern, which is:
Row 5 (RS): YO, K2tog, K1, BH, K2tog, YKY, SSK,
P1, K1, P2.
So it’ll also help if you’re unsure how to work a YO at the beginning of a row.
I have released a new pattern! This is a pretty little capelet that only needs one skein of yarn (1 skein for sizes S & M; L needs 2). You can easily grow it if you have more yarn available. The capelet ties closed with a ribbon. The ribbon is woven through the collar with the clever use of one-row buttonholes. Here’s the ravelry link.
The capelet is pretty enough to wear to a wedding, but I have found myself wearing it whenever I just want something to throw over my shoulders. The colour is so punk it jazzes up my outfits without going too girly. The yarn is Uncommon Everyday in POW! by The Uncommon Thread.
Available to buy now for £3 
If worked up in cotton to a longer length (800 yds 4-ply), it could also double as a beach skirt. I would also love to see how it turns out with a contrasting colour collar.
If you want to knit it up with a contrasting colour collar or as a beach skirt & can put pics on rav, drop me a line and I’ll send you a free copy.
Mwah!

It’s here, it’s here, it’s here!
That’s me lookin’ like a twit, cos I can’t model for toffee.
I’m so excited about this pattern. I spent AGES calculating yardage(metreage) estimates. I’ve had 11(!!!) testers try it out and the pattern is lookin’ goooooood.
This baby will eliminate your DK stash. You’re going to be buying MORE DK so you can make extra capelets. It’s warm, practical, and it’ll go with everything. Cos you can make it in one colour, three colours or as many colours as you like!
I’m so enthusiastic about this one, I’ve even taken out ads!
So go on, give it a whirl, ‘cos honest to betsy, this pattern is so well written (I’ve had such great help), you’ll be using it for years.

Had a marvellous time at unravel today. Met lots of wonderful people and so many lovely compliments on Wildacres.
It’s in the final stages of testing so it will be up on ravelry soon, soon, soon.
