“I never play without my cape.” - Bela Lugosi

Introducing the Elsa Cape: a stylish and versatile knitting pattern designed to be worked from the top down and in the round, utilizing a steek technique for added flair. This pattern is perfect for knitters who appreciate a blend of classic elegance and modern design. The body of the cape is primarily worked in stockinette stitch, showcasing your favorite yarn, while the bottom edge, bands, and collar are beautifully accented with a delightful Linen Stitch. This allows for creative possibilities—choose to work in a single color for a timeless look or explore contrasting bands and edges to make a bold statement. The addition of a charming slip stitch detail along the bottom edge adds a unique touch, making this piece stand out.

This cape is an ideal project for showcasing that one special big button you’ve been saving! Whether for a cozy evening out or a dramatic entrance at your next event, the Elsa Cape is sure to elevate your outfit.
