From Twig + Tale:

The simple magic of the Cape is its simplicity; slip it on for warmth getting to and fro, or as a comfortable and stylish outer garment for those in-between seasons.

Easy to make and easy to wear, this stylish, classic cape is a must-have garment for cooler weather.  Suitable for maternity, nursing and baby-wearing too.

Nothing makes your imagination soar quite like a cape - this is a great base pattern for costumes of all occasions.
