Vintage 1920s Knitting Pattern – Ribbed Cape with Collar and Band

This elegant vintage cape knitting pattern from the early 20th century features a body made from
three main pieces (two fronts and one back), along with a stylish collar and a deep ribbed band
around the bottom edge. The cape is worked in a wide rib stitch, giving it both texture and graceful
drape.

While the original instructions use slightly dated terminology, they are straightforward and easy
enough to follow, making this a wonderful project for knitters who enjoy authentic period designs.
