The middle s of the 3 knit stitches in each side marks the sides of the cape. Increase 1 stitch on each side of these side stitches each increase round = 4 new stitches each increase round. All new stitches and the 3 side stitches are knit in stockinette, the rest in ribbing for the rest of the pattern.
Increase part 1

On the next round bind off 1 s in each side (the side stitch) Continue working the round until you reach the first bind off stitch and turn. You now have 91 s on each front and back. Knit back and forth.
Front: Make holes for the belt like this: Work the stockinette parts and the ribbing part separately for about 1 inch. Start working each part from the wrong side and end with a right side row, og slutter med en pinne fra retta. Then join all the parts and continue as before. Work 3 rowsa. On the 4th row do like this:
Work 38 s. Bind off 15. Work 38 s. Knit each side separately until they measure 8" from whree you divided into front and back.
Back
Continue in the same manner until the back is the same lenght as the front before joining the front and back again.You are now knitting back and forth over all the stitches. Place markers between the front and back pieces in each side. Decrease like this on each right side row: Knit until 3 s is left before the first marker, SSK. Knit 1 s past the marker, K2tog. Repeat the decrease for the other side. Continue until you have 3 knit stitches left on each side of each marker.
On the next right side row bind off and AT THE SAME TIME decrease on last time.
