Im trying to crochet at least a little bit every day, so here is todays work :)
This was a really nice pattern to work with found at:
http://www.twinstitches.com/2015/01/lacy-trellis-poncho-spiral-version.html
Mine is a little shorter because i felt it was maybe going to be a bit tight around the arms if it went below the elbow. I used two strands of womens institute premium acrylic dk yarn in two contrasting colours - i used pink and purple to give a flecked look, but lots of colour combos would work well. I crocheted with a 6mm hook.
I think this would probably fit a medium person, with enough room for a bit of drape - it was slightly restrictive on me as a L/XL.
The pattern is worked in the round so no sewing at the end, except a few threads to tie in which is a bonus :)
The only change i made to the pattern - i crocheted round 1 (sc in each st) first then joined with a sl st, purely so i didnt get my chain round twisted and kept it neat!
Have a shot and share your projects! Dont forget #needleworkmonday coming up soon 😍
Color and pattern are very nice and no sewing is a winner. I so love to crochet, but sewing... sigh. I therefore prefer to make top down designs.
Curious to see how your cape fits. (Are you on ravelry... do you have more fotos there?)

I feel exactly the same about sewing! Ive avoided doing clothing in the past purely because the sewing together ruins it for me! I will usually try to either slst together or do a sc seam where possible and that kinda helps :) im not on ravelry sorry and i think i will need a smaller model to show off as its a bit snug on me :) hoping to get a dressmakers dummy soon to display them better!

I'm with on ya on that! I usually slst my stitches together. I also want to purchase a dressmakers dummy. I crochet a lot of scarves so that would help display them much neater. I look forward to having more time to crochet clothing. I especially want to learn how to knit clothing as well as sew them. My sewing machine is collecting dust lol, I need to get with it. 😅
