Quick Buttoned Capelet Pattern FREE

Fast, easy and satisfying, this pattern is a great quickie to make over a weekend or if you’re jonesing for something warm to wrap around you for fall. It can be worn dressy or casual and makes a terrific little coverup for chilly afternoons at the office. The button capelet also makes a fantastic gift because it looks so impressive but takes so little time to make!
