Butterfly Blues by Sylvia Cosh

Butterfly Blues

Worked in a kaliedoscope of rich, glowing colors, this full-length butterfly cape is unquestionably dramatic in effect. Make it in colors to complement your favorite outfit, choosing shades that either tone well with one another or provide bright contrasts. Change yarns frequently and at random while working, to create an impression of uneven, fleeting patches of color.

34 ounces of mohair yarn in at least 6 shades (blue, royal blue, turquoise, navy blue, navy/turquoise mix, blue/green mix)

The cape is made in 8 separate pieces - 2 back and 2 front upper wings, 2 back and 2 front lower wings.
