RUBY CRUISEDAY by Mindy Weisberger http://www.ravelry.com/stores/gidget-casts-off
This is a simple pattern for a top-down capelet that I knit for a friend; the pattern is based on a standard formula for raglan yoke increases. "Ruby" came from the color of the finished knit. The rest of the name came later, born of whimsical word association involving the yarn, a celebrity child, and a song by the Rolling Stones.
