This color blocked cape is the perfect cozy companion for a chilly day and an excellent stash buster using almost 2000 yards of your favorite fingering weight yarn. Knit seamlessly from the back up with a simple cable detail and interesting color blocking, it is separated at the neck. Each front is knit individually, duplicating the color blocking along the back and incorporating oversized pockets on each side. Once you put this on, you’ll never want to take it off.

Born in the Indian sub-continent and educated in Asia, Europe and the United States, I currently live in California. My work is informed by all these cultures. Passionate about bringing together elements of classic design from a variety of sources to create something new and original, I bring a modern sensibility and love of construction to the art of knitting. In the past three years, I have published a full wardrobe of garments from fingerless mittens, cowls, hats, scarves, shawls, sweaters, and more. I conduct knitting workshops seasonally, regularly contribute promotional designs for some of California’s favorite local yarn shops, and have collaborated with several independent dyers across the country.
