When you need just one more layer under your knit cardigan, this soft and cushy cape is it. The Candlestick Cape can be worn under a wrap or layered over any outfit for a touch more warmth and coziness.

The easy lacework creates the illusion of tall flickering candlesticks, ready to guide you into the cooler seasons ahead.

Instructions are written with easy to understand explanations and there are helpful illustrations throughout the pattern.
