I had the idea for the colour work foxes long before I knew what to do with them. After much deliberation I decided on this cape, a perfect accessory to ward off chills, without the bulk of a sweater. You can also pull it up on to the tops of your shoulders and wear it just as a cowl.

Pattern is worked bottom up. The majority of the piece is worked in treble crochet (US dc) with the colourwork done is double crochet (US sc).

Pattern comes in 3 sizes; small (medium, large) to fit bust 76-86(92-102, 106-117)cm/30-34(36-40, 42-46)“.

This pattern is available in both UK and US terms, when you purchase the pattern you will receive a copy of both so you can work from whichever you feel most comfortable with.
