All 3 pieces now blocked and ready to seam.

Each piece 53” long, two outside pieces are 18 inches wide. The back is 14” wide. The cape I was modeling this project after is 45” wide and 65” long so I didn’t quite hit that. Maybe after seaming I’ll block it more aggressively (may as well try it on first and then decide).

Color sections from darkest to lightest are:
7”
6.75”
16”
23.25”

After 2 days of dragging my feet I started seaming. It went much quicker and easier than I expected. I saw a tip in a video that when joining stockinette you can pick up 2 bars each time. That was a great time saver.

I’m pretty happy with this. I think I’d move the armholes up 5 or 6 inches if I made it again to have more difference between wearing it one way vs the other. It was a great way to use up stash yarn.
