Traveller Cape - Child
gender neutral + reversible
The simple magic of the Traveller Cape pattern is its simplicity; slip it on for warmth getting to and fro, and watch them transform into whomever their heart desires.
Before they take the throne in a land of enchantment, before they set off into the woods with a band of knights, they don a cape and stand tall, heads held high towards the clouds.
Easy to make and easy to wear, it indulges kids' fairytale-esque ways. Everything from 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...

Easy to make and the possibilità of three lengths id very nice
I made this for my granddaughter. She does not like to wear a coat. I used the reindeer add on from the website. This was such a quick and fun sew.
Needed a witches cape for Halloween that covered the shoulders and has an ideal drape . Made it of velvet lined with cotton. Gave it only one toggle and large button to make it easier for the child to secure. It really did come out exactly as I had in mind. Pattern easy to follow due to clear instructions.
Absolutely wonderful pattern. Very simple pattern pieces. Easy to modify to whatever you need. I made a knights costume for my 4 yr old sons birthday. I planned to make it unlined, but lined it in the end. I made a second cape layer to have a collar for his "helmet". Super easy to incorporate into the make. Super happy with outcome. I used a heavy cotton corduroy.
My first try at this pattern sold immediately online as a kid's Halloween costume, it's that cute! I bought the pattern years ago with every intention to make it, and didn't get around to it until this season. I had a question about attaching the hood, and the design/tech team got back to me right away....turns out I had an older version of the pattern, and they updated it for me AND transferred my purchase history from all of the Twig and Tale designs I'd bought through Etsy, over to the main T&T account page. Outstanding customer service!!!
I love how comprehensive all T&T Patterns are and this is no exception. It’s so customizable and easy to construct!
Pattern is easy to print and follow. Everything lines up nicely. I purchased the animal add-ons but the dragon is the cutest by far.
This cape was so easy to make. At first I was intimidated, but with the instructions written so clearly, it was such an easy week. They look so beautiful, and I hope to make tons more for my granddaughter.
I enjoyed making the cape for my year old granddaughter. I made red with lining of strawberries and blueberries. She enjoys wWes ring it. I will make more. The pattern was easy to follow once I got the hang of printing out putting the printed pages together like a puzzle.
Loved this pattern, very clear, easy instructions, full support when needed. It's such a lovely, simple design. ☺️
