got a knitted cape/capelet pattern?

[Mistress_Pooky]

Hey there! I am desperately looking for a cape or capelet pattern to knit. I do historical re-enactment, so preferable something with a historic feel to it. Also, I would love to find one with a hood. Can anyone help? So far I keep finding icky ponchos. XP

Thanks in advance!

Try the knitty.com archives or http://freeknittingpatterns.lionbrand.com/ there should be something you can make/modify. Happy knitting!

I tried both and they didn't have anything I really liked. But thanks for the suggestion.

Even though the link says it's an archive for ponchos there is actually quite a few in there that are capelets and capes. It just takes a while to sift through all the crochet and knitted patterns there. You can also check out this other link for shawl-like capes.

Hopefully that'll help you on your knitting search.

Thanks much! I hadn't seen that archive list before. I'll be sure to check it out.
