Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

From the website: The photo shows a medium length but it could be made shorter for a capelet or longer for a full cape. The stitch pattern is easy to memorize so the crocheting goes along fairly fast. This cape has a flexible fit due to the drawstring at the neckline. This is a plus because the results for each starting chain will fit a range of sizes.

Gauge: 7 sc = 2 inches, two 4-dc groups = 2 inches (across top of stitches), 2 dc rows with 1 sc row = 1 1/2 inches

Materials: For length shown in the example, in size Medium, about 6 oz. worsted weight yarn with US size H hook. Plan to have an extra skein or two on hand, if you want to make a longer cape or the larger sizes.

Measurements:

  • The top edge measures about 34 inches across for the size small, with the starting chain of 103 chains.
  • The top edge measures about 41 inches across for the size medium, with the starting chain of 119 chains.
