September Free Pattern--Teensey Capelet!
Morning! Some of you've asked me for the pattern for the green capelet that I wore in the Mixing Yarns episode from the 2nd season of Knitty Gritty. Well Knitties (or in this case, Hookers), ask and you shall receive! This is a super simple number that can be whipped up in the matter of a couple of hours. If you've never crocheted before no worries, this is a great beginner's project and my How-to section's got your back! Enjoy!, Vickie

Hi Vickie!
Love you love you love you!
What a great little pattern! I made my sister one of Cat Bordhi's mobius scarves for her birthday but wanted a little something more to put in the box with it. I think this will be just the thing!
Thanks for being such ambassador for the fiber arts and sharing all your wonderful idea and experience with all of us.
You're the best!
Dear Vickie,
Thank you so much for giving the pattern to us hooked on crocheters! I've been searching the internet looking for a pattern like that for several weeks after seeing you wear it on the show! I am so happy you have directions! Someday I'll learn to knit, but for right now my crochet hook serves me well! Thanks again--you rock!

Awwwwww I am in love with this capelet but I don't know how to crochet ;_; I already bought the perfect yarn and knitting needles for my capelet so I guess I'll have to keep looking for a knitting pattern!
Oh my goodness!! Thanks so much for this pattern! We just recently found Knitty Gritty on HGTV (our Satellite service doesn't carry DIY) like this week - and just saw this capelet on yesterday's edition of the show. My 15 yo daughter said - OOOO,cute!!! So guess I need to break out and dust off the ole crochet hooks!! Thanks again Vicky!!
gaye ;)
