Hooded Cape by Watmoughs Knitting Studio

Hooded Cape

The hood is knitted separately from the cape. Stitches are picked up at the lower edge of the hood, and a ribbed section is then knitted, with holes for the cord. After casting off this ribbed section, and pressing both cape and hood, the cast off sections of both are stitched together.
