For accessibility this pattern is available in my etsy.com shop and in my Payhip shop. The Island Cape is a soft, thick cape that wraps around your shoulders and neck with an overlap at the front. It has a lovely drape that will fit beautifully around your back. The size is generous and the wrap-a-round style works well for a small to extra large. If additional length is needed, it is easily achieved with extra repeats. Skill level is easy plus. Follow the step-by-step directions and you will be just fine. This is a low vision accessible pattern. Two files are included. A large print file in 24 point font, and a paper saver file in 12 point font. Both files are written in plain text with minimal formatting to make the pattern screen reader and tablet friendly.

My patterns are low vision and screen reader accessible. The text is black, Arial and large print 24 point font. All of the directions are fully written out and no charts are relied on to complete the patterns. No italics are used.
