Patons Free Pattern here
Cable Capelet Free Pattern
First off I would like to mention that this is a free pattern and more importantly, a fairly simple pattern to modify.
The weight of yarn and tension can be important as it determines the finished size of your garment. In this case whether the capelet is an inch or two longer and wider is not a tragedy, but garments that are heavily cabled or have a specific sizing and structure are recommended only for knitters with strong stomachs and lots of patience.
I have neither, so this example is perfect.
Modifying in this case is really tweaking. We are making minor changes to stitches and measurements (hopefully, if your tension is not way off).

Things I Want To Change
- Not crazy about the bulky cable at the bottom of the capelet.
- Want a zipper or some kind of front closure - hate over the head turtlenecks.
- Love texture and easy, so I want a border of texture, but a relatively simple stitch.
