capelets
Short shoulder coverings
Capelets are small capes—short shoulder coverings that drape over the upper body without extending much past the arms.
They appear in formal wear, bridal fashion, and costume design as decorative outerwear: The dress came with matching capelets for the bridesmaids.
In knitting, capelets are popular beginner projects.
