For accessibility this pattern is available in my etsy.com shop. The Peony Cape patterns are also available as part of the Cindwood Looms Masterclass Series presentation on “Everything you need to know to read a pattern.” Two patterns in one, a ruffled cape or a plain cape, both are fun and easy to make. You will need a 5/8 inch or 1/2 inch gauge loom with 27 pegs for the plain version and 35 pegs for the ruffled version. The pattern works well with a variety of yarns, from worsted weight cottons to bulky wools, which makes it a year-round cape. It looks especially nice in a yarn with a lot of “fluff” or halo, such as Knit Picks Reverie.

September 2014: This is the revised version of the Peony Cape pattern. It includes two separate patterns, one for the cape with a plain edge, and one for the cape with a knitted ruffled edge.

My patterns are low vision and screen reader accessible. The text is black, Arial and large print 24 point font. All of the directions are fully written out and no charts are relied on to complete the patterns. No italics are used. They are screen reader and tablet friendly.
