This gothic cape uses cables in usual ways to recreate medieval designs and intricate gothic motifs. The body of the cape is worked sideways, then turned on its side. Stitches are picked up along one edge for the yoke which is worked up to the neck bind. This is a great cape to wear open, like a shawl or cozy blanket draped around your shoulders.
