Cape Japonica

Introducing the stunning Cape Japonica, a unique knitting pattern that showcases exquisite entwining cabled lace tendrils. This elegant design extends gracefully up one arm, parts beautifully at the top of the shoulder, encircles the neck, and reconnects at the opposite shoulder, cascading down the other arm for a captivating effect. Perfect for knitters seeking an artistic challenge, the Cape Japonica merges traditional and contemporary knitting techniques.

In this pattern, I've utilized the Japanese knot stitch to create the intricate entwining cable motif, inspired by the many beautiful Japanese plants flourishing in my garden. This garment is a heartfelt celebration of their enchanting beauty and elegance, making it a perfect addition to your knitting repertoire.

The Cape Japonica is knit from one short edge to the other, offering a versatile design that can be easily customized. You can deepen the front and back by casting on additional stitches or reducing the width to suit your stature by decreasing the stockinette sections. This flexible construction allows for a customized fit that will flatter many body types.

Every cabled lace row is meticulously charted to guide you through the process. Once you get into the rhythm of the cable techniques used, you may find delightful inspiration to recombine the cables according to your personal style preferences. Whether you are an experienced knitter or eager to experiment with lacework, the Cape Japonica is a fantastic choice that will challenge and excite your knitting skills.
