Notes

Arwen asked me for a very specific design, she came and picked the yarn, and I knit it up. The only difference between her specifications and the end result is that she asked for it to come to the floor….

I cast on 70something stitches and did raglan shaping until it was past her shoulders, then knit and knit and knit. Finally I had one skein of brushed suri, I picked up all around the border and kfb, then kfb every 5 stitches, then kfb every 10 stitches. Keep knitting until it’s time to cast off, something that took me an hour and a half to do.

I’m happy, the brushed suri is not white, white, and overall it is too big. Plus, the button attachment needs some work, I might pull that out and redo. But overall, Yay for Princess capes…..:)
