This heavily textured cape in Aran weight yarn is worked flat in panels which are then worked together in shaped saddle shoulders. The collar is worked separately in the round and then grafted on alternatively use three needle cast off if preferred. The panels are then stitched together omitting the Front slits which are edged in Moss Stitch.
Stitches used are Moss Stitch, bobbles and cabling. The texturing is extensive and the construction is rather challenging and so this design is best suited to an advanced knitter or possibly an intrepid intermediate.
