Call for Test Knitters

---

 Due Date:  June 26th

This warm cape features a graphic feather pattern inspired by Art Deco designs. It is worked top-down. We work flat until the colorwork, when we cast on for a steek, then in the round for the length of the design, then flat again for the bottom portion. Finally, our steek is cut and button panels and buttons are added.
