Wedges Round Cape

Hello, hope you all have nice and warm indoor days. I've been living in Amman, Jordan, for more than a decade, and here, there aren't many choices of yarn. So when I found DMC yarn in my neighborhood's craft's store, I bought it at once.
I love the violet and light yellow combination, and since I wanted to make a project using a pattern that includes short rows method, here is what I've made, hope you like it. 

Skill level: Easy

Materials:

• DMC, Knitty Extra Value 10, 100% acrylic, 3.5 oz (100 g), 90 yards (82 m), in the following colors: Violet, 884 (A), andLight Yellow, 993 (B).
  

  Size	Color (A)	Color (B)	Yardage
  36-38	3 Skeins	1 Skein	330-335 yds / 300-305 m approx.
  40-42	3 Skeins	1 Skein	350-355 yds / 315-320 m approx.
  44-46	4 Skeins	2 Skeins	370-375 yds / 335-340 m approx.

• Size U.S. 15 (10 mm) knitting needles.
• Tapestry needle.
• Open-ended zipper, 18" (46 cm) long, T5 6mm. I bought two plastic molded zippers that match the yarns' colors, and used one side of each.

knitting Terms

• k: knit
• p: purl
• sl st: slip stitch
• yo: yarn over

Notes: 

• The instructions contain numbers for different sizes; the (40-42) and (44- 46) sizes numbers are written between brackets.
• You can make a mono color cape, just check the yardage in materials schedule to know the yarn quantity needed.

Measurements:

• Height = 18" (46 cm) 
• Around the neck = 22.5" (57 cm), [(24"(61 cm), 25.5"(65 cm)].
• Bottom circumference = 56.5"(143.5 cm), [60"(150 cm), 63.5"(156.5 cm)].

Gauge: 11 sts and 16 rows = 4" (10 cm) in Single Rib Pattern.

Instructions:




With (A) yarn, cast on 46 sts (use a cast on method to get stretchy stitches). Follow the instructions in my tutorial video to learn how:

Knit four rows.

Wedges Pattern:

Row 1: k 10, (p 1, k 1) to end.
Row 2: sl st, (k 1, p 1) repeat 17 times, k 1, turn. 
Row 3: yo, sl the first st purlwise, (k 1, p 1) to last st, k 1.
Row 4: sl st, (k 1, p 1) repeat 12 times, turn.
Row 5: yo, sl the first st knitwise, (p 1, k 1) to last st.
Row 6: sl st, (k 1, p 1) repeat 6 times, k 1, turn.
Row 7: yo, sl the first st purlwise, (k 1, p 1) to last st, k 1.
Row 8: k 14, k the next yo and st together through back loops, k 10, knit the next yo and st together through back loops, k 10, k the next yo and st together through back loops, k 10.
Rows 9-11: k all sts.





Repeat the wedges pattern 12 (13, 13) times, then repeat rows (1-8) once, bind on (B) yarn, and complete the pattern as follow:
Row 9: knit all in color (B).
Row 10: knit all in color (A), cut yarn (A).
Row 11: knit all in color (B).

Repeat the wedges pattern 4 (4, 5) times in color (B), knit one more row, bind off all stitches.

Sew zipper pieces on each side, you can use this method by Yarnspirations that I've found so helpful.
