The top half of this beautiful maple leaf cape is knitted side to side using wrap-and-turn short rows to create a circular shape. The bottom half is knitted by picking up stitches from the top section and worked top down. No seams to assemble the cape. Each maple leaf is worked separately in continuous rows and sewn on after the cape is completed. Charts and full text (in case you don’t like charts) are given in the pattern. The cape pictured was made with recycled fiber yarn.
