Karen's Kiss - Paper

Karen's Cape is knitted back and forth in smock stitch from the forehead piece to the back. The number of stitches is gradually increased from the forehead piece to the back, so that the cape fits snugly around the head. The back of the head is knitted on double pointed needles with decreases. Finally, a loop is knitted to form a tie along the neckline.
