My Noro Cape

From the crochet book "The Happy Hooker" a collection of patterns, this is called Cold Shoulders and is by Laurie Rossbach

Beautiful Shell Stitch

I used Noro yarn when crocheting this, I really didnt want to use pom poms which is suggested in the pattern so instead I used a really big, funky red button that I got in Hickeys, Galway
