The yarn that I used in crocheting this example of the cape is Caron Simply Soft Shadows yarn, a worsted weight, color 0008 Opal Twist. I used about 10 oz. for this version. I used a US size H hook.
For the cape length and style shown above, follow the pattern directions through row 6, then repeat row 6 (24) more times. Next, add the Last Row directions, the Edging Loops Row and just Row 1 of the Scalloped Pineapple Edging.
This is the Sandi Marshall Cape, crocheted with a self-striping yarn that has subtle color changes. This cape is the adult size version of my Child Cape original, which I had designed in Summer 2005.
