Gemma Cape is a warm accessory that you can easily use in your
everyday life.
It is worked in a very unique and simple way and it’s a quite quick
project.
You are going to make a big rectangle with two attached panels that will cover the shoulders.
The panels will be gradually reduced to
become a pair of straps.
