Red Crocheted Statue Cape

Materials:

Worsted weight yarn (approx. 100 yards in bright red)
Size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving ends

Gauge:

For this project, gauge is not critical, but you can check it by making a swatch of 10 double crochets (dc) and 5 rows to ensure that your work has the same density.

Abbreviations:

ch - chain
dc - double crochet
sl st - slip stitch
sk - skip

Instructions:

Foundation Row: Start by making a slip knot and chaining 40. This will be the length that fits your statue's neck. You can adjust this number based on the size of the statue.
Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, work 1 dc. *Ch 1, skip the next chain, and work another dc in the next chain.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the row. You should have 20 dc with ch-1 spaces between.
Row 2: Turn your work. Ch 3 (counts as a dc), *work (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next ch-1 space.* Repeat from * to * until the last ch-1 space. In the last space, work 1 dc and then sl st into the top of the first ch-3 to join.
Row 3: Chain 3 and turn. Repeat step 2 for Row 3. This creates the lovely lace effect.
Rows 4-7: Repeat Row 3 for a total of 7 rows or until the cape reaches your desired length. Aim for a length of around 8-10 inches.
Finishing: After completing the last row, cut the yarn leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it. Use the tapestry needle to weave in ends securely around the back of the cape.

Finishing Tips:

To give your cape a polished look, consider blocking it by wetting it, shaping it gently, and allowing it to dry flat.
You can personalize the cape by adding beads or embellishments at the edges if desired.

This project is quick and perfect for those new to crocheting! Enjoy crafting this delightful addition to your decor!
