Soon to be your favorite! This cape is worked as one big rectangle, then the bound-off edge is sewn to part of the side edge to form a cape. This unique project requires minimal shaping and features a hidden inside front pocket for warming your hands. Working it in Erin on larger needles makes it a quick knit. The result is a modern, comfortable cape that can be worn over any style for work or leisure.
