COWL NECK CAPE

Knit Simple Holiday 2011 #1
Design by Mari Lynn Patrick

Vivid as fall foliage, this A-line poncho-style cape in a deep berry hue warms up the festivities. Worked in the round from the deep ribbed bottom edge to the generous cowl, it sports a garter-ridge detail and interior shaping for a flattering fit. Faux slip-stitch seams on either side stabilize the piece and add a pretty element of surprise.
