Hello, my shining star! For our final pattern of 2023, I have a wonderful cape pattern to share with you today, and I hope you’ll keep reading to learn more.

Royal was designed by Wardah Mdh. When asked about this design, Wardah said, “‘Royal’ is a word that makes you feel the magnificence of the style. Since I became interested in fashion, I was impressed by epaulettes that have graced the shoulders on military jackets and capes. I wished to be able to sew these designs in the distinctive shape I wanted. I told myself, since I am a designer, why don’t I make the same idea but in a new way?”

“The idea of a cape with removable, embellished shoulders came to my mind, and I set to designing it right away. I used front and back post double crochet stitches to create the 3D leaf shape. This added extra texture and interest to the cape. You can wear it in winter over a beautiful dress for attending formal occasions, or wear it with a blouse with jeans for just hanging out with friends.”

This Advanced level pattern is for the adventurous crocheter who loves to tackle something a bit more complicated. Skills/concepts include basic increases and decreases, using bobbles and color changes, and picking up stitches for the change from collar to body.

Royal is made with our versatile Sincere Sock yarn, which is a delightfully soft, sweet, and pleasant, fingering weight yarn. This 3-ply blend gets its softness from the Merino Wool and its strength from the Nylon. The base takes the dye beautifully, which results in stunning, vibrant shades! This yarn is a blend of 75% Superwash Merino Wool and 25% Nylon with 437 yds/400 m per 3.5 oz/100 g skein.

The sample shown here used approximately 2379 yds/2175 m total: Color A: 2067 yds/1890 m and Color B: 312 yds/285 m. Our sample is shown in colors: A) Milky Way Galaxy and B) Amphitrite Sincere Sock. You’ll need six skeins of Color A and one skein of Color B.
