This is a capelet (meaning short cape), and comes to a few inches below the shoulder, so is perfect to keep the shoulders warm when wearing sleeveless/strapless dresses on those slightly cooler spring/autumn nights. I tried to use up as much of the Scheepjes Whirl cake as I could, which is why it is the size it is! You could use any equivalent weight yarn as a substitute, although it will probably work with thicker yarn and a correspondingly-sized hook (and work up much faster!).
