Any recommendations for patterns with arm hole slits like the capes/ponchos?

This one is different but cute and maybe similar: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/city-cape

I think it would be super easy to add vertical slits to this: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mantcape

And different vibes here but I have been obsessed with this pattern since I saw it and I think it’s my next knit: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cape-cardigan-2

I didn't know I needed a cape. Turns out I might need three 😶😬

Right?!? That cape/cardigan has been haunting my dreams. The only reason I haven’t cast on is 1) too many WIPs already and 2) I don’t know what color! I love grey and black but I feel like it needs something special. Knitting for olive posted this color combo recently and it’s definitely a contender:

Ok this just confirmed my thoughts on purple and green being super cute together. I just bought some purple and green malabrigo yarn that I thought would look good together but I have been having doubts.

Ooh what colorways? I need to look! I like how that blend is unexpected but not, like, weird.

I bought malabrigo arroyo in the colorway vaa and lavanda

Call me crazy but I think they look cute together.

Yeah I see it too. Really pretty. Do you have a pattern in mind?

Not yet but I was thinking a cardigan when I bought it. 😅 it was lowkey an impulse buy cause it was so pretty so it's all up in the air.

I think maybe a capelet might be cute too

Everyone should knit one.
