2/21 - All done. Sewed on the clasps this morning. Shortening it to 21” really did the trick and it fits like a charm now. My cable body rectangle came out to 21” wide slightly stretched, and 21” long. I guess it’s more like a square then, yeh? Ravelry doesn’t seem to have an option yet for knitting/crochet projects, so I’m just going to add here that I did use a size J crochet hook for the edging. Since some have asked, I got the clasps from CloakMaker.com. I love it, love it, love! Excuse me while I go prance in it some!

I had finished this, but the back was too long so I’m frogging back to the body and shortening it by two inches. The pattern instructs you to knit to 24”, but it bunches up in the back for me ‘cause I’m a shorty. I’m going to try stopping at 21” instead.
