Overlook Caplet Knitting Pattern

Years ago, outside the small mountain town of Sidewinder, a particular hotel overlooked an especially menacing hedge maze. Now you can take your rightful place there too….forever and ever and ever and ever. Whether you are a fan of Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece The Shining or you simply love the geometric interest of this interlocking, puzzling design, this capelet/caplet is a sure attention-getter.

Originally created for my Overlook Hotel Halloween costume, when worked in bold complimentary colors this capelet/caplet stand outs. Crafted in softer tones the geometric movement becomes the star. Either way Overlook’s 3 color stranded construction will keep you warm without the bulk of a full sweater. Experienced stranded knitters will find it a quick knit, while newer stranded knitters will find it a fun introduction to 3 color knitting. Here’s Overlook!!!!
