Double Face Wool Wrap Cape – Sewing Pattern PDF
Wrap cape • Double-face wool • Open front • No side seams • 3 sizes • Instant PDF download
A long open cape in soft ivory wool with clean edges and a graceful drape. It is quiet winter elegance ✨
Four panels with shaped tops: two backs joined by a centre back seam, two fronts joined at the sloping shoulders. No sleeves, no side seams: the panels fall over the arms and the front opens in a deep V that becomes the straight front edges. Every edge is finished the double-face way — the two layers of the wool split, turned in and slip-stitched — so the cape looks the same inside and out, with no hem, no facing and no lining; a topstitched line 2 cm in frames the V and the fronts like a narrow band.
S (XS–M), M (L–XL), L (2X–3X)
Width arm edge to arm edge: 63" to 75½" (160 to 192 cm)
Front length from the shoulder: 31½" to 34¾" (80 to 88 cm), to the upper thigh; the back 1.5 cm longer so the hem looks level when worn
The panels print to 42 cm below the shoulder; the rest is straight lines you extend with a ruler, from a chart. 19 A4/Letter pages, or one A0 sheet.
