Crochet Cape For Mouse

three crochet mice with crochet capes on

As promised here is the cape with hood pattern for the mice! I hope you enjoy and in the few days or
so I will also post a scarf pattern for the mice. And yes there will be a video tutorial for the cape and as soon as it is ready I will link it here.

Finished products can be sold This pattern is not to be sold. Furthermore this pattern and all the images contained inside this pattern are not authorized to be sold as a cross stitch pattern or shared in full on any cross stitch site

Special notes: I worked with a 3.75mm hook and worsted weight yarn. Have any questions or if you come across a mistake in the pattern please leave a message in the comment section below. This pattern will give you a cape and hood that will fit the Mouse. Pattern for the mouse is right here

Supplies used:
3.7mm hook
any color of worsted weight medium #4 
yarn needle
specialty yarn of your choice for edging the hood
beads or buttons for the closure

Abbreviations:
ch = chain
st = stitch
sc = single
dc = 1 double crochet
2dc = 2 double crochet in one st
f/o = finish off
crochet mice with jackets on

CAPE:
1) ch 19
2) starting with 2nd ch from hook, 1sc in each ch (18)
3) ch 3 and turn, 1dc in first st then 2dc in next st (27)
4) ch 3 and turn, 1dc in next 2st then 2dc in next st (36)
5) ch 3 and turn, 1dc in next 3st then 2dc in next st (45)
6) ch 1 and turn, 1sc in each
 f/o leaving a good length to work with later. Weave yarn tail from the bottom where you f/o to the top. You will use this after to either sew a button in place or just use it to tie with the other side to close up the cap.

HOOD:
1) ch 33
2) starting with 2nd ch from hook, 1sc in each ch (32)
3-7) ch 3 and turn, 1dc in each st for 5 rows *remember to ch 3 at the end of every row 
f/o leave long tail for sewing. Fold hood piece in half and whip stitch the top of both edges together, go through both loops of each stitch  on both sides of the hood. Once you reach the end knot off neatly and weave the yarn tail in to hide it.


BACK COLLAR:
1) ch 19
2) starting with the 2nd ch from hook, 1sc in each ch (18)
3) ch 1 and turn, 1sc in first st then 2sc in next st (27)
f/o and leave long tail for sewing. Weave the shorter yarn tail in and hide it. Use the longer yarn tail to sew the collar to the cape



SEWING IT TOGETHER:


First sew the hood and cape together. Turn the hood upside down and whip stitch the bottom edge of the hood to the top edge of the cape as shown. The bottom edge of the hood is a bit longer than the top edge of the cape so you need to push the hood edge from left to right as you whip stitch along. You don't need to push much. Stop every now and then and check on the ends and to make sure they will meet up when you are done sewing. f/o and weave yarn tail in to hide it.

Now you can sew the back collar on. If it doesn't quite fit from end to end just stretch it out a bit until it does fit. Sew the top edge of the collar just under the hood edge. f/o and weave yarn tails in to hide them

Decide now how you want the cape to close. You could leave the yarn tails as they are and just tie them together or add a bead to each string or you could sew a button in then  make one of the yarn tails into a loop that  goes over the button to close the cape. I've done all those options and they all work great!


You could also leave the hood edge as it is or add a decorative edge using a specialty yarn as I did. The choices are endless really. You could add a decorative edge to the cape as well if you wanted. Pictured below are some of the specialty yarns I used.

Pull the decorative yarn through the edge of the hood, ch1 and then sc around the entire outer edge, f/o once you get to the other end and weave yarn tail in to hide it.

And that's it! I hope you enjoyed the pattern and please show off your photos of your cape right here on my facebook page Amigurumi Freely
