Hey You Fiber-Craft-Type Folks....

[badstar]

Insane, ambitious crazy person that I am, I've decided that I want to crochet a cloak. Out of recycled silk no less. (Yes, I do realize the level of absurdity to the project. I've never been one to do the nice, simple, normal thing.)

There's one obstacle.

I can't find a pattern to make a cloak. At lesat, one that isn't for a barbie doll. I'm not quite willing to wing somethign this massive yet, as I've never undertaken such a project before in the realm of crochet.

Does anyone know where I might find a pattern that would yield a crocheted cloak of the adult human woman size? The simpler the better, but I'll take a look at anything. I don't want fancy collars or layers, though a hood would be good.

Any of y'all know a good source?

I know a lot of you are KNITTERS...keep in mind that the most importat difference between knitting and crocheting is that I don't know how to knit :-P

That is for poncho patterns, could that be easily modified for a cloak?

Dunno if that is something that would work for you either. Google's not being very nice to me tonight.

Also, dunno if that's something you'd be interested in, but thought I'd pass it along anyway.

I would start by looking at patterns for costumes, see which one is closest to what you want. for my naughty nun costume, I picked up a pattern for a much more demure renaissance costume that was soooort of what I had in mind, and modified it to my specifications. of course, mine was a SEWING project, and I don't know how easily you can modify a CROCHETING project, but it was worth a suggestion!
