Knitting For Olive | Peacock Hat & Capelet Pattern & Yarn Pack
Elegant Layers with a Touch of Flair
Add cosy charm and eye-catching texture to your winter wardrobe with the Peacock Hat and matching Peacock Capelet. Inspired by the graceful “eyelet” motifs of a peacock’s tail, these stylish accessories are worked from the bottom up and finished with stunning detail.
Both pieces begin with a classic rib that transitions seamlessly into a beautifully textured stitch pattern. The capelet is finished with a dramatic, folded collar for added warmth and structure. Designed to be knit in the round using two strands of Knitting For Olive yarn held together, this set works up quickly and offers both warmth and elegance.
Available in five sizes—from toddler to adult—the Peacock Hat and Capelet set makes for a thoughtful gift or a sophisticated addition to your handmade wardrobe.
