Crochet Cape Project

2 Comments

Recently, I finished this crochet cape project.  I made this cape for my grandmother for a gift for her this Christmas.  She is in her 90’s and somewhat sedentary these days since she suffered a stroke and broken hip back in April.  My mother mentioned to me that she was going to need some things to wear around her to keep her warm this winter as she lives in Michigan, where it is cold in the winter.

I crocheted this cape using Homespun yarn from Lion brand in the color spice.  I love the colors of the Homespun as well as how soft and warm it is.  I really like to crochet and knit with this yarn in the winter months.  The lower edge of the cape features a ruffle yarn as the trim.  The yarn is from Patons and called Pirouette.  I like how some of the ruffle yarns coordinate with the Homespun yarn so well.  I have also made a crochet scarf using the ruffle yarn as just an edging and knit a wrap using the ruffle yarn just on the edge and the Homespun yarn as the base of the wrap.

This pattern is something I designed on my own.  I do have the pattern available in my etsy shop if you are interested in crocheting one yourself.  Click on the highlighted word etsy to take you to that link.  

I made my grandmother a lap throw several years ago that I crocheted in different colors to go with her couch.  She says she loves it and uses it all the time.  I am hoping she will like this cape, too.  It is always nice to hear when people are using the things you made for them.

Crochet Projects – Cape, Cowl & Scarf

Lately I have been back to doing more crochet and knitting projects.  I seem to go through seasons of crafts as the seasons change.  Summer tends to be a season where I sew more.  In the fall and winter I tend to do more crochet and knitting.  I am not sure about spring time – I guess then I try to do a little gardening and a little of all my crafts: crochet, knit and sew.

This is my recently finished crochet pattern:

The pattern is currently available in my etsy shop.  I will also be listing it on craftsy soon.  The pattern is for all three items:  the cape, cowl and scarf for one price.

Cowl or Wrap by Kimberlees KornerCrochet Scarf by Kimberlees KornerThe pattern uses the same basic stitches but in different ways, with different size hooks, to create each item.  The pattern is very easy and the scarf and cowl work up quickly.  The cowl can also be worn as a wrap as seen in one of the above photos.  A great gift for those on your Christmas list.
