Chrysanthemum Capelet Crochet Pattern Download

Designer Kathy Merrick saw a chrysanthemum motif in an old crochet book and thought it had great shaping possibilities. She originally intended to create a rectangular wrap, but the design evolved into a shaped capelet. It’s a good project to learn a bit about three-dimensional motifs, as the mum is fairly easy to make and could be made much bigger if you like.
