Hi Karen! It is so good to hear from you. Thank you so much for the kind words. I truly appreciate it. Happy New Year to you as well!

[@tonipribnow5607]

Thank you so much for your fast reply to my earlier post. After looking at the suggested videos I realize I definitely wasn't clear for what I'm looking for. I don't want a poncho, I want a cape with arm slits like the one in this video but I want a closed front. I would slip it over my head like a poncho but I want the style of a cape. I love your videos, the are so clear making it easy and fun to crochet. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

Ah, well you said you were looking for a poncho pattern....Anyway...here is a cape with a closed front: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2K7gaqNh5KFfZY

Hi from a ....mmm very unpredictable weather right now...Johannesburg south Africa. Very easy very straight forward amazing elegant and beautiful. Thank you. May i ask what is the stitch count for a medium large and xl and xxl if possible. I have taken on a personal project to make shawls for the ladies and the old age homes. I came upon the beauty and cannot resist it. Also big pls how about a pattern for a shawl more or less same as cape would be great.

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

Hello Johannesburg, South Africa! I'm so happy you want to make this pattern. However, making the different sizes requires more than simply telling you the starting chain. And for this design, the starting chain only determines the length as it is worked side to side. I would suggest that you purchase the pattern, if you are able, using the link in the comments above.

[@tonipribnow5607]

Can the two front panels be stitched together so the front is closed like a poncho? I've been looking for a poncho pattern with arm slits but can't find anything. I like your cape and thought if I could close up the front that would be perfect. Is that possible?

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

Thank you for the question. I would not recommend trying to turn this particular design into a poncho. It has a "yoke" at the top that would not work with simply seaming down the center. I would suggest checking out a few of my other actual poncho designs either here on KZbin or at my blog. There are several that could easily be seamed along the sides, rather than the center. That would be much easier to create armhole openings. Try these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXuWopWej7WWgdk kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2Lcnpycr9t3f6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKmdKyibsqAars

[@gdixon1967gd]

I love this pattern but would like to change the opening from a front-open to a side-opening. Could you give the row count as to where to make the arm holes? Thanks!

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

Would you rather try this open sides cape instead? kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2K7gaqNh5KFfZY

[@delladearest2511]

Your replica is a crazy cool idea❣️. Great pattern and thanks so much for making this easy peasy ❣️🧁🧁🧁. Which yarn would you recommend to replace acrylic (that stretches out after the dryer) and wool (which is too hot for the southeast)?

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

So happy you like this. I guess you could try cotton. Since I didn't use any other yarn for this, and pretty much always use acrylic for my capes so they drape nicely, I don't know how that cotton would drape. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@megdaniel977]

Awesome, Thank you very much ❤

it is interesting to make dress

[@rosauragarzs2203]

O cual gancho puedo puedo usar para la capa

[@rosauragarzs2203]

Hola como me gustaría hacer esa capa pero yo vivo en Monterrey NL y no encuentro el gancho de #4.25 cual me sugieren para hacer la capa ya se que se utiliza el gancho #4.25 y el #5 me urge hacerla

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

Me alegra que te guste este diseño de capa. Puedes usar un gancho de 4 mm o 4,5 mm y ajustar un poco la tensión. ¡Disfrutar!

[@ranirao7592]

Hi, Please tell me how many rows for back body

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

The answer is in the video. You are working first for 48 rows, create the armhole, then work up to Row 183 and work the second armhole. 183 - 48 = 135.

[@FatineAmine]

how many skeins of soft secret yarn we need for the small size cape please?

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

I always leave the yarn amounts in the "description box" below the video. 32 ounces / 1575 yards

[@rosauragarzs2203]

Hola sra bonita en donde puedo localizar el gancho 4.25 ya lo he buscado en varias partes y no lo encuentro yo vivo en Monterrey NL México

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

Amazon?

[@colhrt40]

Are you still considering a granny pull over sweater? You would make such a beautiful one.👍😀

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

Oh boy. No. I really dislike working with small granny squares. I did this granny sq cardigan and swore I'd never do that again. LOL! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXWon6KJd7mrfLM

@@CrazyCoolCrochet I was thinking granny stitch not squares. I dislike doing squares too. Just a thought.

About 36 ounces. Thank you for watching.

Plus it’s not easy to find the 4.25 hook

Amazon: amzn.to/3znXQ4V Or use another size hook and adjust your tension if needed.

The fact is that efficiencies are necessary you were having trouble and the 4.25 can Be found I am relaxed I teach knitting and crocheting for over 50 years. You were having trouble.I once had a meal at a restaurant a new restaurant and I told the owner eggplant was prepared incorrectly and like you he said we sue service food too many people and they don’t complain. He was right they didn’t complain they just didn’t go back within months the restaurant was closed.
