Batman Cape!

Okay, so we are all about Halloween at our house. If you don't believe me, just check out my costume:

Anyway, because I was so excited for Halloween, I offered to make my nephew a Batman cape for Christmas because obviously, Batman is the coolest superhero ever and my 4-year-old nephew is always pretending to be Batman. So here is what I came up with:


Supplies:

Size H hook.

Black and yellow yarn

Piece of black felt ($.23 at Walmart)

 

Collar

Ch 55.

Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook. Sc in remaining chains. (54 sc)

Row 2: Ch 3, turn. (counts as first dc) Dc in each sc across.

Row 3: Ch 1, turn. Sc in each dc across.

Row 4: Ch 3, turn. Dc in next 30 sc.

Row 5: Ch 3, turn.*2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc. Repeat from * across. (46 dc)

Row 6: Ch 3, turn. *2 dc in next dc, dc in next 2 dc. Repeat from * across.

Row 7: Ch 3, turn. *2 dc in next dc, dc in next 3 dc. Repeat from * across.

Row 8: Ch 3, turn. Dc in each dc across.

Cut out and attach felt bat symbol onto the yellow oval. I sewed mine on with black thread. 

 

Attach yellow oval to back of cape. Attach a button on the top of collar, and voila! An awesome Batman cape, ready for action!
