Finished object: Paris Loop
by Sunita
Ta-da! I managed to weave in the ends on my Paris Loop and take it for a spin. The pattern is an old one from Stefanie Japel and the result is a cross between a capelet and a poncho. The pattern was very straightforward and simple, although I don’t think it’s really one size fits all. There is no increasing or decreasing; instead, the shape is obtained by changing needle sizes. I used just over three balls of Colinette’s Tagliatelli, which I picked up a couple of years ago on sale after it was discontinued. It’s a merino wool ribbon yarn, and I love the feel and the color saturation. It’s also quite warm.
I decided not to block it just yet. Tagliatelli has a tendency to stretch, which I’m hoping it won’t do too much here. I kind of like the stockinette curl at the neckline so I think I’ll leave it that way.
On to the next stash project.

Thank you both! It is quite warm, more than I expected. But it goes with the general look. It should work well in the fall and winter. It’s a bit more constricting than a regular poncho, but I’m going to give it a dry run on a non-teaching workday and see how it does. It’s definitely good for curling up on the sofa, that I do know. 😉
