DIY Kit - Farmer’s Daughter Cape
This cape is knit seamlessly and top-down. First, it is worked flat to achieve the v-shaped neckline. Then, stitches are connected to work in the round, gradually increasing every other round to the bottom.
To make pompoms in the same color as the cape (Version 1), you will need 6 balls of yarn. To make pompoms in a different color (Version 2), you will need an extra ball of yarn in that color (for a total of 7 balls).

Dream is our new name for Merino Worsted yarn. Though the name is different and we have a new palette of color offerings, nothing else about Dream has changed: it is the same yarn you know and love!
