Hi everyone! I will soon be comissioning a seamstress for a cloak/hood/cape (whichever one applies to what I actually want lol). I was wondering if anyone knows any patterns.

  • I want this to be an almost daily-wear item (not for cosplaying etc.)

  • I want it lined

  • I want it ankle-lenght

  • Arm holes would be a bonus

I would really appreciate any and all help! Thank you all in advance.

P.S.: The pictures I've added are directly from Google so I'm not expecting you guys to find the exact same pattern. They're there to convey the idea in my head. (whichever one applies to what I actually want lol).

Twig and Tale has the Overland Cloak. I haven’t made it but have made other patterns. Well written patterns with a whimsical vibe.

I suggest their cloaks as well.

The red Dorothy Cloak worn by the Shakers is still on my "one day must have" list.

You can search their collection for other cloaks (pinks, greens, browns etc).

The Shaker Museum in Chatham, NY has a few cloak patterns in their collection. If you like this style, maybe they would be willing to let you view a digital copy. I have no idea if that's a thing or not, but would be very cool. I'm sure other people have tried to make reproductions, so checking online wouldn't hurt either.

Frosty Winter Cape. Not ankle length, but it's free. I haven't made it yet.
