This is a short cape (shoulder warmer) inspired by Jane Austen romantic novels.
It takes just 1 skein of any bulky/chunky yarn (at least 100 yards) and features invisible increases. The pattern itself is relatively easy and quick knit. Gauge is not important, due to the ribbed full circle.

Update: The pattern is easily adaptable. It was knitted with 2 sizes larger needle, than the yarn originally asks for. Same rule apply for any other yarn if you want it airy-light and stretchy.
In case you want to knit with worsted weight and the label ask for 4.5mm (US 7) go with US 9 (5.5mm) needle.
1. For every needle size down, add 3 stitches when cast-on.
If using US 9, CO 56 + (2 sizes down x3 stitches) = 62 sts.

  1. For every needle size down knit one more row at the beginning (originally knit 4 rows)
  2. As many needle size down repeat as many times following rows: 10 and 11, 18 and 19, 30 and 31
