Update #2: Cape is currently drying out. When I finished this project I had just realized I was doing my knits wrong(I was doing the yarn over the wrong way for continental knitting) so every other row has “twisted” knit stitches but luckily the cape still looks fine. Can’t wait to wear her out!

Update #1: Cape is finished! Just needs to be blocked. The only adjustment I made was to do a purl stitch for the edging instead of a seed stitch.

I love this leaf pattern, I’m still fairly new to knitting so this was an ambitious project for me but the instructions are all fairly clear. I would recommend this to a more experienced beginner looking for a new challenge.
