Wilderness Cape

This hooded cape was designed to expose the elegant beauty of natural fibres and their traditional function as providers of warmth and protection from the elements.

With its generous hood, complete with tasselled drawstring, this is an oversize garment designed for comfort. Whether you call it a cardigan, coatigan, hoodie or poncho, Wilderness will give you all the warm and cosy feels

This is a relatively simple pattern, worked top down with a round yoke, using a few fun techniques. The main body is made in one piece, then the hood and tasseled cord are worked separately and added at the end.

You will need 1250 - 1730m chunky yarn and a 6mm hook. Note that although the sample shown was made with chunky, I think a heavy worsted or aran yarn would also work for this design, but please check it meets gauge.

This pattern is also availalbe free on the dora does blog.
