SC is "single crochet". There are good youtube videos showing how to sc around a knitting project, that will help you.

Hi Sandra,
You will not be knitting across the whole row. Only the number of stitches indicated.
For row 5. Slip the first stitch. Knit 5 stitches. Do your wrap and turn. The wrong side of your work should be facing you. You should have 6 stitches on your left needle and 29 on your right needle.

Purl back across the 6 stitches on your left needle. (Not all the stitches in the row are knitted)

Turn your work so the right side is facing you.
Row 7 - slip the first stitch, knit the next 10 stitches. Do your wrap and turn. Wrong side should be facing you with 11 stitches on your left needle and 24 stitches on your right needle.
Row 8 - purl the stitches on your left needle.

These are called short rows. When knitted this way, it creates a wedge.

If you are able, take a look at the video for how to do the wrap/turn.

Hope this helps!

I agree about the confusion. I have taken it back twice, and today I took it back to the beginning to see if I can make sense out of it. I now trying to do the repeat starting from AFTER the 6th row so that there are only 2 raised rows between the short rows. I am thinking that will make it look more like the picture.

What is an I-cord?

An I-cord is where you knit a tube with 2 double pointed needles. Cast on like normal and then knit the first row. Now instead of transfering the work to the other hand you move the work to the other side of the needle. So you will knit the next row with the yarn coming from the left hand side instead of the right. Doing this will make a small tube that can be used as drawstrings.

My cape came out nice but hood does not look like picture. Must be an error in instructions for hood. Has anyone tried this in a larger size needle than the size 4 .

Thank you, I can't believe how easy this is. I just got back into knitting and was worried about the turning but it wasn't so bad. Thank you again.

There appears to be an error in the instructions for the hood. It says repeat rows 3-10 3 more times. Then it starts with row 27. These numbers work if you only repeat rows 3-10 twice. I haven't sewn it together yet. Did anyone else find this error?

I have knitted for 40 plus years, BUT I CANNOT figure out this pattern. I so wanted to make it for my granddaughter. When you get to row 5, do start to knit to the last 5 stitches then do the wrap stitch or do you start right at the beginning slip a stitch, knit 5 then turn? go to end and do that again before you go to row 6. Thanks for any help.

As I don't know how to crochet, can I use a garter stitch? What does "sc" mean?
With the yarn B crochet 3 rows of sc along all edges of the cape and the hood.

I loved the one I made and am working on a 2nd one but I wonder if there is a typo on the hood, short row 6. Should it read purl short row 6, knit row 3 and purl row 4?that way when you start short row 1, you have only 2 ridge rows like the body of the cape? Or does the cape have 3 ridges?

Has anyone made this cute cape?
There is a place that is confusing to me. The pattern says to repeat rows "5 to 8 including 2 sets of short rows." It seems as though it should be easy enough, but if anyone has found it a little confusing and has figured out the pattern with different slant, I would love to hear what you did.
