Lesley’s Carry Cape Set by Elizabeth Lovick
in fingering weight yarn

Whether it is used for special occasions or everyday, a carrying cape is a an easy way of keeping a baby warm! The bonnet (and bootees) can be used separately.


Materials
200 (300) g fingering yarn for the set- I used ColourMart cashmere
3.5mm and 4mm (US 4 and 6) needles for the 1st size, 4mm and 4.5mm (US 6 and 7) for the 2nd size
ribbon about 1½ yard/m, of about 1” wide for the cape
ribbon about 1 yard/m, of about ¾ ins wide for the bonnet; about 1 yard/m of about ¼ ins wide for the bootees

Sizes
to fit birth to 6 months (6 to 9 months)

Tension
About 20 sts and 34 rows to 10cm/4in over the Net Cluster pattern on 4 mm needles and 16 sts and 27 rows on 4.5 mm needles after washing and blocking. Tension is not critical to the design but will affect the yardage used.

Note that the pattern will work with other fingering yarns from ColourMart, and also those from other companies but you must check your tension. For everyday use, choose a machine washable yarn, such as a sock yarn.
