Little Red Riding Hood Cape
reversible
(This pattern is EXACTLY the same pattern as the Traveller Cape)
The simple magic of the Cape is its simplicity; slip it on for warmth getting to and fro, and watch them transform into whomever their heart desires.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a village near the forest. Whenever she went out, the little girl wore a red riding cape...
Easy to make and easy to wear, it indulges kids' fairytale-esque ways. Everything from a cloak length costumes to an everyday alternative to a coat, this pattern does it all.
Nothing makes a child's imagination soar quite like a cape...

Thank you for designing these lovely patterns! My wildlings love their travelers/animal capes. They love them and wear them ALL the time.
Did buy the pattern for my daughter. She made the cape this week fir her daughter. Although she’s a bit too little to fully enjoy wearing it... she is growing fast :)
I cannot fault this pattern at all - the sizing is spot on, the instructions are easy to understand and follow even as a beginner, and there are endless possibilities for this cape. I made a little red riding style one for my niece and she absolutely adores it, and I have many more planned to make!
Easy to read and the final result is stunning!
I brought this to make a cape for my daughter, as it was my first one I didn't add any embroidery. But now I know it's easy to follow I will be brave and add some. Really enjoyed making this. Thanks for the great and easy to follow pattern.
I bought this pattern to make a Cape for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, she is just getting into playing "dress-up", so a Queen Elsa Cape seemed like the perfect Christmas present. I did an ankle length cape with a shorter elbow length cape with the pixie hood all in turquoise satin with white fur trim. I also made a long dress in satin with a sparkly skirt to go under the cape. She couldn't get her pretty party dress off fast enough after she opened it so she could try it on and she has lived in it since.
As a self taught beginner-ish sewer, I found this pattern really easy to work with. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and the detail of cutting around the corners and along curves was really helpful. I made cloaks for my 3 daughters for an upcoming overseas trip. I did the lining in Disney fabric so they can use the reverse side to wear in Disneyland. Thank you, we love them!
I purchased the pattern to make a cape for my 4-year-old daughter for Christmas. She hasn't received it yet, but I tried it on my 2 year old after she'd gone to bed (to see how it looks) and it was perfect.
The pattern was easy to follow, although I admit I'm a fairly intermediate sewist. I used a wool coat from the thrift store for the outer fabric, so I had to include some seams as there were no panels big enough for the back piece. I put the center back seam of the coat down the center back of the cape and it worked just fine. Upcycling is like that sometimes.
It made me want to try making one for myself in the future, but I'm a bit amiss as I find it difficult to find upcycled wool blankets in my area, only coats, and if I had trouble finding a large enough section of fabric for a 3-5 size coat, an adult size would be nigh impossible. I might have to cave and actually buy fabric, but maybe I'll find something.
All in all the pattern was fantastic and I'm sure I'll be purchasing and using more patterns in the future.
One note, the pattern says it's designed to be read on a tablet - which is great. But my chromebook (tablet? computer? it uses apps) Adobe app would not give me the option to print layers, so I had to either print with all the sizes (which is not the end of the world with the key) or use a different computer to print from.
