Rachel Misner Debuts Free Cambrie Cropped Cape Pattern, Video Tutorial, and Lion Brand Kit

Rachel Misner of EvelynAndPeter released The Cambrie Cropped Cape, a free crochet pattern she described as "an easy piece to work up that's perfect for transitioning into spring," alongside a full video tutorial on her YouTube channel and a coordinating yarn kit through Lion Brand Yarn.

The pattern lives on the EvelynAndPeter blog, accessible via the link in Misner's Instagram bio. For makers who prefer working from print, a low-cost ad-free printable PDF is available in both her Etsy and Ravelry shops. The Lion Brand kit bundles all the yarn needed for the project with a free copy of the PDF digital download, and buyers can customize their color choice. Orders of $50 or more from Lion Brand also qualified for a free canvas tote bag at the time of the kit's promotion.

Misner flagged one detail that tends to get cheers in the crochet community: no sewing required. "I love how relaxing this one is to make with no sewing which is always a plus," she wrote in her announcement post. She shared styling inspiration in a swipe-through Instagram carousel, offering suggestions like layering the cape over a dress, with a collar peeking out underneath, or kept simple over a plain tee.

To mark the release, Misner ran a giveaway on Instagram with two winners each receiving the Cambrie Cropped Cape pattern PDF plus two additional patterns of their choice from her shops. Entry required following @evelynandpeter, liking the post, and leaving a comment describing how they would style the piece. Winners were announced in her Instagram Stories the day following the pattern release.

The Cambrie Cape continues an established collaboration pattern for Misner, who has previously paired free blog releases with Lion Brand kits on other designs including the Moonblush Pullover. The full video tutorial on her YouTube channel is positioned as a companion resource for anyone who wants guided, visual instruction alongside the written pattern.
