I think this is just about the coolest thing ever. I totally need to make a “bat cape” for my sister!

The panel does curl, though. You can see it in the scarf I made, here and here (not so much in the last picture, but you can see how it’s just aching to bunch itself up).

The pattern is in Charted Knitting Designs: A Third Treasury of Knitting Pattern by Barbara G. Walker. Her books are available in yarn shops and libraries. We are happy to provide photos of her stitch patterns, but would be breaking copyright laws if we provided the patterns.
