Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Winter 2008/09: “The cape is, hands down, the silhouette of the season. Hale’s dolman coat version, in ‘Highland Alpaca’ by Gedifra/Westminster Fibers, is knit in one piece from the deep ribbed bottom edge up through the trinity-stitch body. The front and collar bands are picked up and worked in seed stitch, while the ‘cuffs’ around the arm slits get the stockinette treatment.”
