I made this cape last year - you can find the blog here link . I wore it a lot, but I was never very happy with the hood or the belt. Then earlier this year I lost one of the buttons and didn't have a replacement.
I found some fur fabric and cream cotton to make a new collar and lining, and some rather nice buttons left over from a suit that I made.
I wanted to make the belt neater. The fabric is very thick and the tie belt didn't sit well. I couldn't find a proper buckle the right size but I found these two large gold rings that I bought for bag making, together they were just right.
and here it is.
I just need to knit the slouchy beret and the long fingerless gloves from the yarn I bought on Sunday.
