Wool knit cape, dress and cardi. Easy on and off: perfect for we who have stiff shoulders and elbows.

Wool knit uses 1 yard to make a poncho.  Keeps your torso warm while your arms are accessible for blood pressure cuff, getting blood work.  You have control over your own temperature without struggling with sleeves.  Design by Peggy Sagers.  See how to make it on her youtube station, Silhouette Patterns.
I'm using the Two Piece Top to make Empire dresses for comfy wheelchair style. I get several inches added to my sitting circumference and get the comfort of the knit top. I use a 4-6" pleat center back that releases to allow me to breathe and eat!  Handicap comfy, easy to wash. A mild mannered dress.

Silhouette Pattern's Giorgio's top, made with a lacy knit from Fabrics.com.  All cotton.  Now appearing as part of a RennFest fantasy costume.
