the mini Magnum Capelet #1
When faced with having to get a last minute birthday gift for my daughters friend I decided to rework the Magnum Capelet #1 to fit the little ones.
I wasn't sure how much yarn I needed but knew I wouldn't need a full skein (123yds of Magnum by Cascade). Since I have a lot of partial skeins of Magnum I thought I would cast on and see what happened... it helps the capelet is worked top down. I'm not sure how much yarn in the above color combo I used but it felt like it was just over half a skein.
Finally, Happy Birthday to my big girl!

My daughter really liked the capelet and with her birthday only a couple
of days later I wanted to make her one too. I just happened to have a
full skein of Magnum in purple (her favorite color) so it gave me a
chance to better gauge the amount of yarn I would use.

I had less than half a skein left when I finished. I was really hoping I would be able to get 2 out of the one skein knowing her sister would want one but after seeing it on her I didn't like the way it looked.
It was a bit big.
I cast on with the remaining purple Magnum to see if I could squeeze another one out of it...
and was happy to find that with the remaining yarn I got yet a smaller version that is more proportionate for a 2 1/2 year old.
