I’m looking for a little knitted cape for a dear friend recovering from breast cancer surgery. The only ones I can see online look impractical/ horrible. I’d it in red or something cheerful. Can anybody help?

May I suggest contacting Claire https://www.facebook.com/share/1GLB9p19F8/ she makes the most fabulous head crowns and I am sure she would be able to come up with a knitted cape as she is a talented and amazing lady and always willing to help with something inspirational x

There is Facebook group Handmade Scotland that has some amazing knitters. If you put your requirements on there someone will be able to help.

Anyone can join and buy. Only sellers that have to be in Scotland

Thanks all. I have bought something now but was just trying to cover all bases…warm, soft, neutral color, quite covering, easy to wash for her. WAsnt really sure but have found something so going to send that. Thank you.

I used a soft scarf folded into a triangle with a bobble to fasten it where it was comfy.

How about a cashmere poncho? Woolovers have fab ones.
