Corby Weemin I (DK)

**Purchase via [Patreon][1] with video and Corby Weemin I & II for 10.00 usd or become a member for as little as 3.00 per month.** This is a pattern for a hooded cape with 2 colourwork bottom edge motifs to choose from - Cameo or Leaf style. It is worked flat over the hood and then joined to continue and work in the round with a steek. Once steeked, sts are picked up and the border edge is worked in the round, as a folded hem with mitred corners. This project uses the stranded knitting technique, stockinette, and Linen Stitch. This pattern is intended for experienced knitters who are comfortable with large colourwork charts, floats, and steeking. [Yarn Kits (including pattern) available at 5 Sisters Farm][2].
