Purple Capelet with Flower Embellishment


So, here's my first prototype for a simple mini capelet with a small flower embellishment. I used purple Simply Soft Yarn and an "N" crochet hook for the capelet and a smaller "F" hook for the flower. 



Here's a close up of the flower embellishment. (For some odd reason, this photo makes the capelet look more blue-ish but it's really a deep eggplant purple color). 



Here's a close up of some more flowers I experimented with just to see how the hook size affected the size of the completed flower. The flower on the right was made with the "N" hook and the flower on the left was made with a "J" hook. These flowers are so cute and easy! (With these little flowers, I can jazz up hats and scarves and make anything appear more Anthro-esque without the Anthro price tag!)
