Frog Closure Stand Collar Cape – Sewing Pattern PDF
Women's cape • Stand collar • Frog closures • Arm slits • Fully lined • Sizes XS to XXXL • Instant PDF download
An ivory wool cape with a stand collar, three black frog closures and slit arm openings, flaring softly to the hip. It is winter elegance ✨
Four panels of a circle: two fronts and a back, joined by two seams that run from the neck over the shoulders to the hem; the arm slits are the part of those seams left open. A 5 cm stand collar meets edge to edge at the front, a full lining is bagged with the hem, and three black frogs are sewn on by hand.
XS to XXXL: a cape fits by the neck and shoulders, so choose your usual size
Length from the neck seam: 26¾" to 29¼" (68 to 74 cm), hip length
Hem sweep 2.3 to 2.9 m; arm slits 30 cm long
All sizes included, layered PDF: print only your size
The panels print to 40 cm below the neck; the two straight edges are extended with a ruler and the hem is drawn with a tape pivoted on the apex printed above the neck. Blank pages are not printed: 23 A4/Letter pattern pages, or two A0 sheets.

Ivory melton with black frogs, as in the photos: the contrast makes the frogs the whole story, and ivory wool reads as luxury on a phone screen. A lining a shade darker than the wool, so it never shows through.
