Digital DPF knittingpattern for the Fabel Knitwear Nuptiae Cape.

I designed the Nuptiae Cape for my own wedding. I wanted something simple, gossamer and elegant, but practical as well – lightweight so you can easily take it on and off (and stuff it in a bag if not needed!), but warm enough to keep the chill at bay.
It is worked top down in a single strand of Mohair Silk. It has blousing bishop sleeves over a fitted cuff, and a long, flowing cape with a lace panel at the hem.
It is designed to be worn open, but can be closed by adding a button, hooks or a ribbon at the front.

NOTE ON AVAILABLE SIZES - if you want to knit this, or any of my patterns, in a larger size than I currently have published, please get in touch! The only reason it is not available in larger sizes is I couldn’t get testknitters for those sizes, and I don’t want anyone to pay for a pattern and knit a size thats not been tested. So if you would like to (test)knit this - or any of my patterns! - in a larger size than is currently available, drop me a message and I’ll send you the pattern for free!
