American Girl Cape

Black Cape for American Girl Doll....Hope you like it Cayle....

Burgandy Cape ~ You can see by this picture that I figured out the hood pattern..... A small change was needed...A knit row needed to be a purl row in 0rder to get the two bars as pictured.... The other hoods had 3 rows of bars....

This is the same cape pattern but I crocheted Boa around the edges as well as the bars on the cape..... I wanted it to look like a Winter Wonderland.....Hope you like it Cayle......

Here is the American Girl Cape for dgd's AG dolls..... I have a red one made & plan to make a couple more..... I used Boa instead of fun fur & crocheted two rounds on the cape....

Thanks goes to Michelle for all the help.... I am still working on getting the hood right.... Hope you like it Cayle....

How To Block Your Cloth or Bookmark

Letters really need to be blocked well as they will show so much better....

Place cloth or bookmark on table & generously spray with water.... Take a tea towel & place your hands all over the cloth to flatten it out so it lays nice & even; then spray with water again......Let the water soak in for about 20 minutes... I now use the handle end of a wooden spoon....... & press down all around the  letters & surrounding area of the cloth...Using the end of a knitting needle(this is your fine tuning) I then press around the letters & inside the letters till the areas around the letters are quite flat...This makes the letters pop.... I move it to where I am going to take the picture & flatten some more just around the letters... Let the cloth dry overnight as this makes the cloth look better too.... The yarn relaxes & the cloth will pop even more.... hope this helps....& don't be afraid to spend time doing this as the efforts are well worth it......

Your cloth or bookmark will look so much nicer for presenting...
