Product Details

Unlike a shawl, this quick to knit cape is shaped to fit neatly around your shoulders and stay in place - no fiddling or pins needed. Your yarn choice will determine if it is a cozy reading cape, a woolly topper for your winter coat, or maybe an elegant summer concert wrap. There are three different sizes to customize your fit and the fit is very flexible.

Knitting begins by making connected garter stitch mitered squares that are fun and addictive to knit. This is well explained in the pattern and there are links to a video for knitted cast-on and one for connecting the mitered squares. Stitches for the body are picked up along the edge to work towards the neck. There are a few short rows at the back of neck. The pattern has been fully test knit and professionally tech edited to be clear and free of errors.

Gauge is 18 sts and 36 rows/ 4 in/ 10 cm in garter stitch worked flat. A single mitered square measures 4 1/4 in/ 10.75 cm square.
