Accessibility statement: This pattern includes the original version, a screen reader version, and a low vision version (22 point font, black text, no italics, verdana font, written directions) for accessibility.

Designer’s description: The Augustus was inspired by Ancient Rome. I designed it back in 2018 when our business slogan was “crocheting history”. This pattern received so much love at its release in 2019, so I decided to give it the makeover it deserved. This improved pattern has extended sizes, clearer instructions, and digital stitch charts to reference. Construction: This sleeveless robe is made by crocheting and seaming three rectangles. After the panels have been seamed, a contrasting color bottom is added. Sizing: This pattern comes in the following four sizes: XS-M (L-XL, 2x-4x, 5x-6x) / ~ 50” (60”, 70”, 80”) chest circumference. The robe is intended to have 14”-22” of positive ease. In addition, this pattern has two length options: ~35” or ~43” from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the coat.
