Deschutes is two accessories in one: a top-down, seamless capelet built on easy raglan increases with a jogless three-color stripe sequence, plus a coordinating cowl worked from the same colorway.

✨ Features

  • Top-down, seamless raglan construction, no shoulder seaming
  • Three sizes: XS-M, L-2XL, 3XL-5XL
  • Jogless stripe technique for a clean color-change finish

  • Built-in lifeline trick to check fit mid-project
  • 8 linked video tutorials

🧵 How It's Made

You'll cast on at the neck and work raglan increases in the round, changing colors every four rounds to build the jogless stripe sequence. Once you reach your finished width, you'll knit even for the Bottom Body, then finish with a ribbed border and ribbed neck edging. The cowl is worked flat as a separate striped strip and seamed into a loop with mattress stitch using the leftover accent color.

💖 Why You'll Love It

There's momentum built into this project. Every increase round moves the shape forward, and the four-round color sequence means you always know where you stand. Finish with a wearable capelet and a bonus cowl.
