Cape and hat

I've been really busy this past month finishing projects, filling orders and Christmas shopping. I have a new line, doll clothes! By "line" I mean 2 articles lol. The last project I completed was a cape and hat for an young girl, with matching set for her 18 inch doll. So cute and they are so pleased with the result. I can't wait to see her in it after Christmas!!!


Same "warning" as before, I crochet tightly so change accordingly.
