Umma Cape

The Umma Cape from Aegyoknit is a great piece of clothing that falls somewhere between a poncho, cardigan and cape. Umma means 'mother' in South Korean and the cape got its name for this reason, as it feels like a mother's embrace when you wear it. Umma is also the mother of the Nabi and Narea pattern, both of which are characterized by the delicate cross detail on the chest.
Umma is knitted from the top down, starting with the neck, where the cross yarns are picked up under the ribbing at the neck to form the iconic cross. Increases are then made at the shoulders while short rows are knitted using the German Short Row method.

Sizes

1 (2) 3 (4) = approx. 123 (136) 146 (158) cm chest circumference of the finished cape and fits a chest circumference of 70-100 (100-120) 120-140 (140-155) cm.
The chest circumference is calculated based on the number of stitches and gauge, but does not take into account the opening at the front, which creates additional room for movement. This allows you to go down/up in size if you want a different look for your cape.

Wool package

The wool package contains the required amount of Lang Yarns - Cashmere Premium (100 % cashmere) and CaMaRose - Midnatssol (54 % alpaca, 36 % Tencel, 10 % virgin wool) in your desired colors for the selected size. You will also need 3.5 and 5.0 mm knitting needles (or needles matching the gauge) and the pattern.
The model is knitted in two threads using one thread each of Cashmere Premium and Midnatssol. The kit includes the yarn for the long cape.
