Wheatfield Cape

[@ritariordan2664]

Note to everyone on this project: 1) BUY THE WRITTEN PATTERN! The cost is so minimal and it's vital to have on hand, especially for reference. Bonnie's patterns, compared to so many others, are as succinct and well organized as her videos. I add my own notes and highlights to each row [think row counts, stitch counts, distinctions per row, et al]. 2) USE THE VIDEO as support. This is like having Bonnie personally teaching a class. Who says distance learning is awful? I travel and always have projects with me while away from home. The videos are like having a "Bonnie in my pocket." Remind me to tell you all the places Bonnie's been with me. 3) SWATCH USING YARNS you think you'd like for projects! Reference the video links for spectific stitch support. I've been crocheting and knitting all my life, thanks to my grandmothers, and am still climbing the learning curve at age 71. Bonnie's been my personal tutor via her videos for her beautiful designs. 4) SHARE your outcomes and insights with the rest of us! We all learn from commuity like this one.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Thank you so very much for your kind endorsement Rita! I appreciate this more than I can say!

[@lisasternenkind6467]

Exactly!

[@kvs-adonai5214]

I completely agree! Buy the pattern. It’s not much and goes a looooong way toward making a difference in the crochet community. Absolutely beautiful pattern and I can’t wait to make my own! I wish capes were more popular because I love wearing them! Maybe if enough of us start making and wearing these, we will see an added interest from the public. Kind of makes me feel like a kid again…😊 Thank you for this video.

[@debbiesimonson8588]

I made this in acrylic in denim blue. I have learned new stiches. Took a lot of effort to learn something new . Thanks for giving me a chance to exercise my brain. 😂 It looks really nice and I get compliments when I wear it.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

So glad you enjoyed this one Debbie!

[@mireah]

Bought the pattern from lovecraft after watching quite a bit of the vid, so I could take this to work and work on it on my breaks. Am using Drops Paris yarn, and it's so much fun to make. Did find a difference from your vid and your pattern. Row 39 says the increase is (sc,dc) while your vid (much to my happiness) says (dc,sc) with that = 16 stiches. Which is what I've got!!!! So glad I didn't panic and try to rip rows out trying to work out where I'd gone wrong. Making this for my mother-in-law for her birthday. I'm positive she'll love it. I've already got girls at work wanting me to make one for them. Thank you for sharing this pattern with us!!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Thanks for letting me know Mireah. I hope your mother-in-law enjoys the work of your hands!

This is just lovely. Not so long ago, I would not have made any attempt to craft anything so beautifully detailed as this cape. You, though your tutorials, have given me the confidence to crochet items I thought I never would. Thank you for that. Enjoy the day...

Phyllis, your words really blessed me today! Thanks for taking the time to encourage me today.

[@sarahdumontet5244]

Same with me 😊 I've done about everything you can do with granny squares ! I am however stuck on row 10 ! (I'm only following the video & writing the stitches as I go) If I have followed everything correctly I finish row 9 with an increase stitch the end stitch being a SINGLE CROCHET stitch, Sooooo in all logic I should start row 10 with "CHAIN 2 & DOUBLE CROCHET" however in the video you start by a "SINGLE CROCHET" I've re read my notes & ré checked them with the video so far ..... it just does not line up (I've even got the correct amount of stitches - a major achivement for me because I USUALLY have undone my work à couple of time before ever getting so far 😀 ) I would be so happy if you BonnieBayCrochet or anyone else could help me out (if you can understand my message ) Thank you once again for such a beautifull cape and easy tutorial, keep up updating us with such fun projets 😉

[@AnitaReinecke]

Hi, I am battling with row six. Your video says chain two, then double crochet into the first stitch, then single into the next, then double and single into the next. My pattern followed along perfect and I ended row five on the same as you, but my row six only has to stitch spaces before the cable starts and I can't see on your video where the second double crochet and single crochet goes into? Is that in the first stitch of the cable?

[@ioannat5738]

Thank you, Bonnie! I made this for my mom for Mother's Day and she loved it! Very clear instructions and beautiful cape. It ended up a tiny bit shorter than I'd hoped even after blocking, so I made a pair of gloves out of the same yarn to fit with the cape. Thank you very much for the help!

[@cherylbell8875]

Oh Bonnie, you are amazing! Another beautiful item to add to my list. Maybe I'll do this one as soon as I'm done with your Celtic Blanket I'm working on. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful talent with us.

Carol Dalton welcome aboard! We must have started crocheting about the same time in the early 70’s. 😊❤️

[@caroldalton7518]

Yes, early 70's, no tutorials , just your brain and a pattern. I always crocheted lacy doileys and knitted with yarn. I had to give up a few years ago when I started loosing my vision . I realised I could still crochet with yarn, things sure have changed.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Carol Dalton so sorry to hear of your vision loss. I will pray for you now Carol. Take care.

[@marthabuzis3935]

That cape is absolutely beautiful

[@valferguson8322]

Bonnie, this cape is gorgeous! I love the cables. I learned how to do them on BagoDay’s site. And loved doing them. Also love front and back post stitches. I’ll need to increase the size to at least a 3X. So I think a 5 weight yarn and a size K needle should work…. Your instructions are very clear. I’ve seen other caplets, but they are made with more open stitch like V stitches. This will be warmer and much more detailed. Thank you for doing this tutorial

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Glad you are enjoying these Val!

[@ritariordan2664]

Got this in progress and am in love with it. Using a multi-tone mohair blend which slows me down -- I'm addicted to complications -- since the furry yarn doesn't frog easily. Post stitches in this yarn, especially the triples, is a "go very slowly and exactly" but I'm getting the hang of it. THANK YOU for this gorgeous pattern!!!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Your project sounds amazing!😊

@@BonnieBayCrochet Using Hobbii Diablo Wild Print in colorway Marshmallow and I'm loving the look.

[@ritariordan2664]

Sigh...ever rethink a yarn choice for a project? I was doing lots of frogging and realized this lovely yarn is too fine weight and would be better for knitting. I picked up some Lion Brand ReSpekt [originally thought to use for a bag] and worked up a sample. It's perfect!!! Most of all, THANK YOU, Bonnie, for this incredible video and your stunning design. Some day, I'll learn to be less whimsical about my yarn choices. The current yarn is giving great stitch definition, sufficient weight, and is soooo much easier to work.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

@@ritariordan2664 Yes! I have to rework yarn all...the...time! It's the only way to learn - perhaps more than we wish! So glad this is working out for you. Another thought on yarn: often times for publications, designers are assigned which yarn to use and have little choice. This is one reason why I like self-publishing as much as I can. I get to make what I think is an excellent choice in yarn rather than catering to a specific brand. Guess I'm a free thinker!

Love this! I wanna make this longer in length( almost like a coat) But I'd have to place armholes and I don't know how to. Would appreciate it if you'll (or someone) will guide me how to place arm holes.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Once you reach the point of where you want the armholes, place a stitch marker there. When you crochet the next rows, omit this stitch and turn to crochet both sections separately (in 2 different sections). You will need to reconnect on the other side of the stitch marker to crochet the next section.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

That really depends upon how your fundamental stitching is Tracey. If you understand the basic stitches, and they are reasonably even, and if you know how to crochet rows without adding or subtracting stitches unintentionally, don't be afraid to give this (or other more difficult projects) a try. Mistakes are allowed during the learning process! That's the best way I learn!

@@BonnieBayCrochet Thank you Bonnie for the confidence. I've definitely mastered the above mentioned. I love this Wheatfield Cape. If I may ask one more question.
