I saw a top similar to this one somewhere on the internet, and I've had it tucked into a dusty little corner of my brain ever since. The fabric is a yarn dyed cotton linen stripe from Fabric.com*.

Each pattern piece is actually 2 pattern pieces – you will cut down the pieces to make it the next pattern piece ( for example you will cut out the exterior of the hood, cut down the pattern piece and then cut the interior). Cape section: Cut the pattern to the length you want (there are two – I’m 5’4″ and the shorter length was good for me).
