GAUGE: 9 sts and 15 rows = 4"/10cm over basketweave pat foll chart
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| Basketweave Cape Reviewed by Catherine Sullivan on 2009-04-22 |
 |
the basketweave is beautiful, but the cape is just huge. Trying to figure out how to cut it down without having to rip the whole thing apart.
Also agree that the arm holes would be better further out to the sides.
