Learn How to Crochet This Adorable Cape – Valdeon

Hello, my darling dewdrop! This week, I have a fun pattern to share with you. It’s a delightful, crochet cape that can also be worn as a wrap skirt, and I’m tickled to bits to tell you all about it!

Valdeon was designed by Janica York Carter. When describing this pattern, Janica said, “Simple single crochet stitches worked in short rows create long wedges separated by bands of mosaic stitches. This subtle shaping, combined with cotton-and-silk yarn, drapes beautifully around your shoulders as a cape, or around your hips as a wrap skirt. Customize the size by changing the number of wedges.”

This Adventurous Beginner level pattern is perfect for crocheters who know basic stitches and are ready to learn basic shaping. Techniques include short rows, spike stitches, and an optional foundation single crochet beginning.
