Little Red Riding Hood Cape v2 updated 26/03/18

I grew up reading fairy tales. I've always loved them. Red's story fascinated me. I wanted her to turn the tables and beat the wolf - a modern-day retelling as it were. My Red makes her way through the autumn forest wrapped up warm in her bright red cape; she is the hero of this story. 

The hooded cape has sections of chunky cables alternated with stocking stitch and a series of increases to flare out from the neck. It's bright and bold and perfect for all youngsters. The pattern itself might look complicated, but give it a go - it's much simpler than it seems at first. It's also easy to size up by adding sections and continuing the sequence of stitches. 

Please note, this an updated version of a previously uploaded pattern. The number of stitches to cast on was missing from the original; this has now been added.
