It is advisable to use the Russian join technique for starting new balls of yarn with this pattern, since the many chains make weaving in the ends difficult.

You will need approximately 7 balls of Vinnis Colours Serina, worked with a 4mm hook the resulting cape is full of drape and the cooling bamboo yarn makes it a perfect spring and summer evening accessory, keeping you snug but not over heated.

The cape is a deep crescent shape which almost closes to form a full circle. The diagram shows the final shape of the cape after blocking.
