GAUGE:
10 sts and 12 rows to 4 in. [10cm] over sc using K/10.5 (6.5mm) crochet hook. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES:
Work in continuous rnds. Do not join end of rnds with sl st. Instead work first st of next rnd directly into first st of previous rnd. Place a marker at beg of rnd and move it up as you work. This marker will mark beg of rnds and center back.
Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends,
knit or
crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.
CAPE Starting at lower edge with A, ch 116 (120, 128), join with sl st to form a
ring, being careful not to twist sts.
Rnd 1 Sc in each ch around - 116 (120, 128) sts. Work even in sc for 10 more
rnds. Count 29 (30, 32) sts to each side of center back marker. and place
another marker at each side -58 (60, 64) sts marked for each of front and back. Note
The foll decs will not line up perfectly at each side marker. This will
avoid the creation of a visible dec line. Stagger the decs working as close as
possible to the side markers.
Dec 1 st (sc2tog) at each side marker on next rnd and then every 6th (6th,
5th) rnd twice more-11 0 (114, 122) sts.

Note:
To change colors in the middle of a rnd, work last st in old color to

with new color. Use a separate ball of yarn for each color area. Do not carry
yarn not in use along WS of work; do not work over yarn not in use. Twist the
yarns on the WS of the work to avoid creating a gap.
