Marikit is a lovely capelet or poncho that can be worn all year round! This beauty is designed to add elegance to your outfit—on any occasion! The best thing about Marikit is that it can be styled in two ways! You can place the button in front or back—your choice!

NOTES

  1. Read the pattern carefully before starting.
  2. This pattern is worked from the top down.
  3. I recommend using a stitch marker to mark the 1st stitch of each row. Remember to move stitch markers as you progress.
      • repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed or repeat at specified locations.

Enjoy your unique piece and be proud of it!
