This is a medium size capelet which I made for a gift. If you would like a different-looking capelet, try this one. It is very easy to make.

Note 1- Ch 3 counts as 1 dc unless otherwise noted. Note 2- This capelet is a size Medium. But the pattern is so easy, I am very certain that by starting the lace about two rows before the size for mediu, you might tweak it to fit a smaller size. I would suggest that if you would like to make it for another size, that you use a measuring tape and a garment the size you would like to make it. Measure it carefully, write down the inches, and as you make the top, try to reach the width of the garment you are using for your measurement, which would correspond to the back of the person you are making it for. Continue the rows and increases until you reach that size. Follow the lace pattern across each row carefully so that the design will fit your larger or smaller size. It can be done, you only have to keep track of what you are doing. With Shocking Pink, ch 59.
