*Introducing our enchanting Spring/Summer Cape, designed with a passion for asymmetrical garments that stand out. This unique piece is perfect for layering and adds a touch of elegance to any outfit.*

The construction begins with the lower border, worked first sideways. Here, you'll join live stitches to the cast-on stitches, cleverly forming a continuous ring. Next, you’ll pick up stitches from the straight edge of this beautiful border, allowing the cape to grow in a lovely bottom-up fashion in stockinette stitch. To shape this captivating design, the technique alternates between working in rounds, knitting flat, and employing short rows. The best part? It’s completely seamless, providing a polished finish without any visible seams.

Suggested Yarn: You will need approximately 618 meters of fingering weight yarn, or you can opt for 3 hanks of the luxurious Malabrigo Mora as an alternative for added softness and drape.

Needles: Use a 3 mm (US 7) circular knitting needle to achieve the best results for this project.

Gauge: Aim for 25 stitches and 40 rows to measure 10 cm squared over stockinette stitch, ensuring your cape has the perfect fit and texture.

Size: This pattern accommodates finished measurements for sizes S/M, designed to fit a bust measurement of 82 – 92 cm, with a lower circumference of 120 cm, making it versatile for various body types.

Tools: Don’t forget to gather your essential tools, including stitch markers, a tapestry needle for finishing, and some waste yarn to help with your stitching process.

Skill Level: This project is categorized as medium skill level, making it a rewarding challenge for intermediate knitters looking to expand their repertoire.

Perfect for warm weather, this asymmetrical cape not only showcases your knitting prowess but also adds a stylish statement to your wardrobe. Embrace the beauty of creative knitting with this delightful pattern!
