Trendy Capelet Ensembles from my fall series

Presenting once again three more fall inspired capelet ensembles for your delight. I initially sought to make use of a variety of Autumn colors for this seasons collection, yet wanted to break away from the traditional sweaters. These capelets gave me the outlet for both passions: fair isle, color-work and the ease to knit many of them, producing unique one-of-a-kind ensembles and instant gratification too!

presenting: "Harvest" modeled by Julia, from Gotz' 2003 Precious day collection





presenting: "Dogwood II" modeled by Jessica, also from Gotz' 2003 Precious day collection


 















presenting: "Dogwood " modeled by Hayley, my 18in Madam Alexander girl



These one-of-a-kind capelet ensembles, modeled by my Gotz dolls, Julia and Jessica and my 18in Madam Alexander doll, Hayley are currently available for sale in auctions via eBay, where my husband and I have a store, Tekay-intl.
Each capelet comes complete with trendy fingerless-mitts along with a coordinating hat.
See my current listings under my label Debonair Designs for each description.
Thank you for looking, Deb :)

Summer Knits

presenting, 'Savanna'
new from 2011 my summer collection.

This new summer inspired design was created from my spring pattern release, Adrift only this time I omitted the sleeves and worked garter stitch on the last 2 stitches creating a flat edge around the armhole. 
Variation to neckline: For the neckline, I continued working the single ribbing for a total of seven rows, thus allowing it to fold back onto itself, creating a flattering collar.





Embellishment: For a unique finishing touch I added strung beads along the garter stitch ridge row, and fastened securely.

The safari style hat completes the look, however this hat pattern is not available since it has been worked from a base pattern, where I improvised and added a brim.

Designed to fit: I worked this design to fit 18in Madam Alexander Dolls like my model pictured, this outfit also fits the American Girl Dolls and 18in Gotz Dolls.

 





Model Info: 'Hayley', is from Madam Alexander Girlz Collection, she stands 18 inches tall, slightly slimmer than the American Girl Dolls and 18in Gotz Dolls.




Thanks for looking, Deb
