Herringbone Cape

This delightful and cosy cape features a generous rib collar that elegantly folds over, making it a perfect accessory for chilly days. Crafted with an intriguing herringbone stitch pattern and rounded cabled edges, this design not only looks beautiful but also showcases unique knitting techniques. The construction begins with the rib collar, which is knitted in the round for a seamless finish, then transitions to the eye-catching Herringbone Stitch, worked back and forth on circular needles. The project concludes with a short ribbed section, and the cabled edges are expertly grafted together to complete the look. This pattern is a fairly quick knit, suitable for experienced knitters looking to expand their skill set, though it may present some challenges for beginners. The original yarn used for this cape is Artesano British Wool, a luxurious 100% British chunky wool, but unfortunately, this yarn is now discontinued. Don’t worry, though! We have suggested an excellent alternative, and we encourage you to explore LoveKnitting or YarnSub for additional suitable yarn substitutions. Remember, no matter what yarn you choose, always swatch first to ensure your project turns out perfectly. Dive into this exciting knitting project and create a stunning cape that combines both warmth and style!
