ANOTHER PROJECT FROM MY STASH!
I made this cape for a little newborn named Polly. I thought she could use a sassy cape to wear in the winter to keep her little body warm.  I wish I could have used a real baby to model it, but my purple teddy bear worked out fine!

Gauge: 5 sts and 9 rows= 2 in with MC

Materials:
