This lace cape was of my own design. It was machine knitted on a standard gauge knitting machine, using tension 9 for this yarn. It consisted of 4 polygons seamed together using the “seam as you go” technique. By using the Knit Leader, I drafted half of the polygon outline. Each completed polygon measured 4-inch at neckline x 20-inch hem edge x 18-inch in height. At completion of the cape, I found out that the cape sat a bit tight at my shoulders. Next time, I will make a slight curve (instead of straight), at the shoulder to yield more room.

The lace pattern on the body was picked from a Japanese Pierrot Yarn hand knitting pattern (http://www.rakuten.co.jp/gosyo/461397/713923/714197/714650/). Whereas, the pointed lace edge pattern was taken from this website: http://newlace.blogspot.com/ I modified both lace stitch charts to easily apply for machine knitting. The lace patterns were hand-manipulated on the knitting machine.

The trimmings were hand crocheted all around.

The hook closures were purchased at JoAnn (US).

PS: The camera flash turned the color of the cape into a magenta color. The 5th photo resembled more to the actual color of the cape.
