Right now I'm working on a new version of my Scraplet Skein Capelet (original version is shown in photo), using the Signature Series in Espresso and the Colorway Series in Japanese Maple (the pattern calls for 1 skein of each, or a total of about 290 yards, if you want to experiment with your own yarns).
The only thing I'm doing differently with this version is that I'm doing the 5 x 5 ribbing throughout the whole piece; the original pattern switches from ribbing to reverse stockinette stitch when you change from the Signature Series skein to the Colorway Series skein. I think that ribbing the whole thing might make it fit a bit more snugly around the shoulders. I'll get photos of this up ASAP!
