Materials Needed: To craft this lovely lace cape, you'll need Lang Merino 200 Bébé, a luxurious 100% Merino Wool in a delicate 4ply weight (203m/222yds per 50g). For this project, gather 6 balls of yarn: 5 balls in the enchanting shade of 0390 Lavender and 1 ball in the soothing shade of 0324 Light Blue. You'll also require 4mm (UK 8/US 6) circular needles in both 60cm (24in) and 100cm (40in) lengths to accommodate the design.
Skill Level: This knitting pattern is categorized as Easy to Intermediate, making it accessible for a wide range of knitters looking to expand their skills while creating an elegant accessory.
Specifications: The finished lace cape measures a depth of 70cm/27½in at the center back, with an impressive wingspan of 140cm/55in. For a comprehensive understanding of the dimensions, be sure to check the schematic for additional measurements and design features.
Tension Guidelines: For this project, aim for a tension of 16.5 stitches and 31.5 rows over a 10cm/4in square in Chart A after blocking. While exact tension is not critical, variations may impact the final size of your cape and the total amount of yarn required.
