Love this! It's so chic and tailored and looks like it would be really warm on a cool day. I also like that it has arm holes because I really don't like having to lift the whole cape to use my arms.

I love the look of this cape. It looks like a work of art. I love capes to begin with and this one looks so classy yet the directions don't look too complicated. Once you make this you have a piece that will not be seen all over the place and will add to many outfits. Perfect for the fall. Thank you.

I've always been skeptical of ponchos because I don't think I would like having my arms wrapped up all the time. This would be awesome with the sleeve holes and open in the front. I like the idea of the cape. However, I don't like turtlenecks. Could I just cut the turtleneck off and leave it like a ribbed collar? Anyone have any opinions on how that would look?

That is what I plan to do. The worst that can happen is that you have to frog it.
