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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Row 3: Chain 3 and turn. Repeat step 2 for Row 3. This creates the lovely lace effect.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
