Zigzag Cape Kit
£160.65 - £252.45
-
We fell in love with this "cape" when we saw it. So much so, that we ordered the yarn specially for it!
The Zigzag cape is knitted in soft and squishy Babyalpaca Los Andes (100% baby alpaca) from Pascuali. It uses easy stranded colourwork to create a fun zigzag effect.It is knit side to side, starting with a moss stitch shawl collar.
Two sizes to choose from: XS-XL (2XL-5XL).
1 (XS-XL) 2 (2XL-5XL) Bust circumference (inches)* 30 - 42 46 - 59 Bust circumference (cm)* 76 - 107 117 - 147
* bust circumference (measured on the body)
The "cape" has an oversized fit and two sizes covers the whole size range. Accordingly, the smaller sizes of each size group have more positive ease than the larger sizes.

Pascuali are known for sourcing beautiful natural fibres with care, transparency and proper respect for where they come from.
Babyalpaca Los Andes is made from the fine fleece of young alpacas raised in the Andean highlands of Peru - a landscape where alpaca fibre has been valued for centuries for its warmth, softness and durability.
The yarn is spun in Peru, keeping the fibre close to its origin and preserving the qualities that make baby alpaca so special: softness, warmth, lightness and strength.
Los Andes is part of Pascuali’s wider commitment to creating high-quality natural yarns with strong provenance. No novelty nonsense. No plastic pretending to be luxury. Just properly beautiful fibre, handled well.
This is a yarn for knitters who want softness, but not blandness. Warmth, but not bulk for the sake of it. Luxury, but in a quiet, natural, wearable way.
