🦇 Cape
Step 1: Foundation Shape
We start with a slightly U-shaped curve that expands to full width, replicating the “wing-spread” silhouette from the photo.
With black yarn:
Ch 41
(this width correctly exceeds the shoulder span)
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (40)
Row 2: inc, sc 38, inc (42)
Row 3: inc, sc 40, inc (44)
Row 4: inc, sc 42, inc (46)
Row 5: sc across (46)
Row 6: sc across (46)
Row 7: sc across (46)
Cape in the photo is tall, reaching nearly to the boots — so we add rows now:
Rows 8–13: sc across (46)
(6 full rows)
⚠️ Check height here:
It should be about equal to the body + belt height and cover the top of the legs.
Add +1 or +2 rows if your yarn is thinner.
Step 2: Deep Scalloped Hem
The scallops in the picture are much more defined and larger than the pattern’s originals.
We’ll create 8 big scallops, matching the dramatic round shapes.
Row 14 (scallops):
Across the row repeat 8 times:
(sk 1 st)
(sc, hdc, dc, tr, tr, dc, hdc, sc) all in next stitch
➡️ Each cluster forms one big scallop point.
FO and weave ends.
These large shell clusters recreate the deep rounded lace edge seen in the photo.
🔄 OPTIONAL: Extra Flow
If you want the cape even more generous like the photo implies, add:
One more straight row (Row 15: sc across),
then a second scallop row right below it.
This layering thickens the edge visually — just like the plush fullness in the image.
🧵 Attaching Cape
This is a major reason why the original looked like a scarf — the photo cape sits high and wide.
- Position cape under the cowl, not at body mid-back.
- Wrap the top corners slightly forward, just past the arm seam.
- Stitch from shoulder to shoulder — not only at the middle point.
The photo shows just a hint of cape visible from the front.
This only happens if the cape wraps slightly around.
🔹 Avoid sewing only at the center of the back
🔹 Stitch across 8–10 stitches of the top edge
🔹 Let the bottom fan outward freely
🔗 Keychain Loop
Ch 8, join to ring, sl st around.
Attach to the top of the cowl.
Add jump ring + keyring.
🧵 Assembly
- Sew head to body.
- Attach arms.
- Attach legs.
- Sew utility belt pieces in place.
- Add chest emblem.
- Attach cape high on the back.
- Embroider small curved smile.
- Add keychain loop.
