New warm toggery

   I'm glad to notify that my cousin Natalia has a new warm knitted cape made by me and my grandma. We created the gray one just by watching the pink cape (our inspiration)- no patterns, no instructions. We did something like copy paste in gray color. The buttons are made completely by yarn, reserved brand to my grandma. I will show you how to do it in some of my next tutorials. The result is successful! Natalia liked it too! ツ

I used Cabled rib pattern and simple Four stitch cable. Buttons are made by yarn.
