RIPPLE CAPELET Version 2
Finished at last.
Close up of ties.
I've been crocheting shawls for the Elders at Pine Ridge Reservation and wanted something that will stay on the shoulders. So this pattern was born.
Notes:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. Capelet in photo is crocheted of Caron One Pound Royalty and Red Heart Kid’s Yarn Crayon.
3. If you choose to change colors, complete the last pull through of the last stitch with the new color. Then tie a square knot and using your tapestry needle weave the old color in and out of the back loop of the previous row. You can pull the old color enough to hide the knot inside the dc dec of the previous row. After crocheting several stitches use your tapestry needle to weave the new color in and out of the back loop of this row. Or use your preferred method.
Special Stitches:
Dc dec over 2 (decrease) = Yo and draw up a loop in next dc, yo and draw through 2 loops, yo and draw up a loop in next dc, yo and draw through 2 loops, yo and draw through all 3 loops on hook.

RIPPLE CAPELET
Thank you Virginia for testing this pattern.Virginia and I have been working on shawls and now capelets to send to Elders at Pine Ridge Reservation this fall.
Notes:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. Capelet in photo is crocheted of Red Heart Super Saver – Orchid
3. If you choose to change colors, complete the last pull through of the last stitch with the new color. Then tie a square knot and using your tapestry needle weave the old color in and out of the back loop of the previous row. You can pull the old color enough to hide the knot inside the dc dec of the previous row. After crocheting several stitches use your tapestry needle to weave the new color in and out of the back loop of this row. Or use your preferred method.
Special Stitches:
Dc dec over 2 (decrease) = Yo and draw up a loop in next dc, yo and draw through 2 loops, yo and draw up a loop in next dc, yo and draw through 2 loops, yo and draw through all 3 loops on hook.
Dc dec over 3 (decrease) = Yo and draw up a loop in next dc, yo and draw through 2 loops, skip next dc, yo and draw up a loop in next dc, yo and draw through 2 loops, yo and draw through all 3 loops on hook.
Picot = Ch 3, slipstitch in 3rd ch from hook.
