Crochet Cape Patterns

Scalloped, hooded or the plain simple type, crochet cape patterns on the Internet can spoil you for choices. Any crocheting information site worth its salt will offer you hundreds of beautiful patterns for capes simply because they cannot afford not to. Capes are one of the hottest crocheted items anywhere and a new or interesting pattern is always in demand.

Most crochet cape patterns on the web include a free guide for stitches to be used, material required and even tips for turning out a great looking cape. But crocheting a cape is for you only if you have intermediate crocheting skills. Also you must be willing to invest some patience (leftover from writing out cheques and the kids’ school projects!) as crocheting capes can require a lot of precision work and time.

Whether you are planning a trip to the countryside or a ‘just – girls’ dinner, a crocheted cape is sure to add some fun and color to your chosen ensemble. The good thing about crocheted capes is that they go well with all types of clothes and you can contrast them with a pair of jeans or a skirt to get an exciting end result. Capes also make great gifts for new parents and you can try your hands on a ‘coming home’ cape or a simple baby cape for the stork’s new package.

Capes and especially crocheted capes are becoming the new must – have accessory for teens and pre- teens as well (yes, now you gotta take your 10 year olds seriously too, fashion wise!). So just connect to the net, download some of your favorite patterns and get working with that hood. Who knows, your 3 month old might want to save that cape for her ‘ sweet – sixteen’!
