Two More Capes!

Hello! How are you doing?
I enjoyed doing my Spanish poncho, about which I said  here, so I made ​​two more of them! 
But I still have not decided what to call them correctly - poncho... cape... capelet... cloak... mantle... I don't know!

This time I used a thinner 100% acrylic yarn, it is Stylecraft Special Chunky for black cape in Black color

 
 and Sirdar Bonus Chunky for red cape in Signal Red color

These yarn I usually buy on-line at Deramores. I adore this shop! ♥ because it is very fast delivery, pleasant prices for the yarn and for the shipping too.
The hook I used is 8mm. Yarn total used is 200g for each cape.
And below is the graphic pattern

and description:

The total amount of starting chain must be a multiple of 4.
I started with chain 72, joining  in ring with a slip stitch.
Round 1: Dc, ch 1, skip 1 stitch. Repeat till the end.
Rnd 2: Ch 1, ♥Sc in ch-1-space, 7 Dc(shell) in next ch-1-space - repeat from ♥ till the end. Join with slip stitch in first Sc.
We have 18 shells of 7 Dc.
Rnd 3: Ch 3(as Dc), ch2, Dc - in same stitch where you joining Rnd 2; ch 2, Sc in 4th Dc of shell, ch 2; ♥cluster(Dc, ch 2, Dc) - in Sc between the shells, ch 2, Sc in 4th Dc of shell, ch 2. Repeat from ♥ till the end. Join with sl st in 3rd ch in beginning of round.
Rnd 4: Sl st in ch-2-space of cluster, ch 3(as Dc) and 6 Dc in same cluster, Sc in Sc of previous rnd, ♥7 Dc in next cluster, Sc in Sc of previous rnd. Repeat from ♥ till the end. Join with sl st in 3rd chain in beginning of rnd.
Rnd 5: Sl st across to 4rd Dc of shell, ch1, ♥Sc in 4th Dc of shell, ch 2, cluster, ch2. Repeat from ♥ till the end. Join with sl st in first Sc.
Rnd 6: Ch 1, Sc in same st, 7 Dc in next cluster, ♥Sc in Sc of prev rnd, 7 Dc in next cluster. Repeat from ♥ till the end. Join with sl st in first Sc. 

Then continue to work repeating Rounds 3-4-5-6.
To finish with Round 4 or Round 6, where work 9 Dc in shell, instead of 7 Dc.

If you wish to make your cape more flared to bottom - the last four rounds make with a hook one size larger. Hang the fringes.

It is all about capes today!


All the best for you, my dear readers!

Red Shells Cape

Good evening!
Just a short post about a new project - it is a Red Shells Cape. I finished it 10 days ago. It was very easy and interesting and quickly to make this cape. In fact in original pattern it is called as Gracefull Shells Poncho, but as my poncho turned out a little bit shorter, I called it as a cape. :-)

 Hook 7mm

Yarn I used(total 100g only) is Zettl Monte Carlo - Acrylic/Alpaca/Wool blend, very soft and warm. I have a plan to make another one cape in black color...
And in my next post you'll see my Floral Scarf  finally completed!!! I already wore it - ooooh, it is very very warm! 
Sunny days for you!

A New Warm Set

 Hello!  

Do you remember my Spanish Poncho? I made ​​another one, could not resist because it makes very easy and fast. A fascinating result, isn't? For the poncho I added a fringe. And  easy hat.

(I think that it's not a poncho, may be a capelet? What do you think?)

 

Привет! Вы помните мое Испанское пончо? Я связала еще одно. Не могла удержаться, ведь  вяжется оно быстро и легко... А в результате получается вот такая красота, не правда-ли? К пончо я добавила бахрому,  а также связалась шапочка.

(Ну, вобще-то это скорее накидка, чем пончо, как думаете?)

And also my floral scarf from previous post is slowly growing. Now is ready 30 flowers and among them no two identical. The scarf is very scratchy and very very warm!

Мой цветочный шарф из предыдущего поста потихоньку растет... Уже готово 30 цветочков. Шарф получается оооочень кусачий, а значит оооочень теплый!

    

 I really want to finish it as quickly as possible, so my ripple blanket had yet to put aside. I'm not working with it for over a week...
Очень хочу побыстрее его закончить, поэтому пока отложила вязание волнистого пледа, к которому не прикасалась уже целую неделю.

Good days for you!
