Kiwi Cape Version 2, with Ostrich yarn

by on Sep.27, 2010, under Blog

Gorgeous elegant and Sexy Cape – created with 3 strands of yarn knitted together. Patons Ostrich, Naturally Mist Mohair and Regia Hand Dye Effect. I used garter stitch, Stocking Stitch and reverse stocking stitch as well as changing the Naturally Mist colours as I knitted the cape. The Naturally Mist colours used were cream, beige and dark brown. I wanted to add an orange (no brand name) colour to this, as well as the Naturally Mist Black. But I restrained myself.

I have changed the pattern shaping from earlier capes as well – so I might create a pattern.

This photo is closest to the real colour of the cape.

This photo shows the whole piece – but is not a good display of the colour.

This picture is so unlike the richness of the colour as it should show. I used the flash, and you can see the colours in the cape and the stitch changes as well.

Great cape for a night out on the town, stunning over jeans and cami, very warm and cosy and very very sexy
