This magical, versatile, cozy cape is worked top-down in one piece, and is written in US TERMS, suitable for intermediate skill levels. Although gauge is provided, you can easily adapt it to any yarn or size using measurements.

The design includes a cowl neck, as well as hidden pockets that are worked in the round as you go, and are sewn flat afterwards with a simple mattress stitch (optional).

Although this pattern has been tested, we are all human. Should any part be unclear, feel free to reach out to me and I will always answer. I’m in Europe, so I might not be awake when you are, but I’ll answer as soon as I see the message.

This has been designed with much care. I hope you enjoy it!
Love, Christel
