1940s Wartime Nurses Cape Knitting Pattern

1944 Wartime warm Nurses lined cape. Would be great to knit for reenactment or just if you
like capes! It’s worked in 4 ply on No. 8 and 10 (old UK size) needles.

You work it from the hem upwards and the lining is picked up at the hem and then knitted
up, so the front and back are attached. You then make up by sewing front seams together
and then picking up round neck and knitting a neckband with buttonhole.

Colours suggested are Navy for the cape with either a grey or scarlet lining

You will need 10oz (approx 285g) for the cape and 10oz (approx 285g) for the lining.

MEASUREMENTS: Length 24 inches; width all round hem 72 inches.

TENSION: 6.5 sts. to an inch
