The blanket yarn I found was so soft and yummy that I wasn’t satisfied with just making a blanket - I wanted something I could wear. And so this cape was born… and it is scrumptious!! It’s super simple, too, using only single crochet and double crochet stitches. I think even a beginner could handle it. Besides being strikingly unique, it’s incredibly comfortable and warm. Perfect for a stroll through the woods on a cool morning, or as a cozy extra layer sitting around a fire on those long winter nights ahead. When I first put this on, it reminded me of something a princess might wear back in medieval days - hence, the name, Guinevere.
The cape is made up of three panels that you sew together, leaving a gap at the bottom for your hands to slide through. It’s one size, but I think it can be easily adjusted by increasing or decreasing the panels. But as it’s a very roomy cape, I doubt it will need much adjustment. As written, the back panel (which comes around your shoulders a bit) is 37” wide, and each front panel is 8 1/2” wide. The length of the cape is approximately 27”. You will need 3 skeins of Bernat Blanket Yarn in Smokey Green. The gauge is as follows: 6 sc stitches and 6 sc rows in 4”; 6 dc stitches and 3 dc rows in 4”. You will also need 4 buttons, stitch markers, a tapestry needle, and a yarn threader.
