Pattern Notes
Cape is worked vertically from center front to center front. Hat is worked vertically from brim to top of hat, working a flat piece, which is later seamed. Openings are made for the horns which are made separately then seamed. Until instructed otherwise, work in back loops only throughout. To avoid an excessive opening at the closing of the short rows, work into the stitch below at the end of each short row.
_x000B_
When working in slip stitch crochet, there is no turning chain. After turning, care should be used to ensure that all stitches indicated are used. At the end of rows, if work- ing into only one loop causes a gap, try working into both loops at that last stitch.
