Free Cloak Patterns

Karen Barnes
It's time for some cloak and dagger stuff. No, just kidding. It's a list of free cloak patterns to make for when you feel the need for a full length jacket but it's still not cold enough for the heavy coat in your closet. The cloak patterns are like the one Little Red Riding Hood wears on her way to grandma's house.

A beautifully made cloak can be worn on any occasion when a jacket is needed. They can be worn as part of a costume or just for the usual wear.

Rectangular Cloak - Make a rectangular cloak for any occasion. The body of the cloak is rectangular. You can use any color of fabric for the exterior and lining. This cloak doesn't have a hood.

Semi-Circle Cloak - The sem-circle cloak has a rounded bottom hem. It has a hood. You can use any color and style of fabric for the exterior of the cloak.

Opera Style Cloak - Think "Phantom of the Opera" when making this cloak. However, rather than a color it has a hood. It is more like a monk style robe than a cloak in the manner of the Phantom of the Opera style cloak.

Jedi Cloak - Yes, it's like the robe that the Jedi wore in "Star Wars" movies. However, it can make a warm cover for cool or cold days when needing to go outside for long periods of time.

Fellowship Cloak Pattern - This cloak has a hole for sliding over your head. It also is slit up the front to around the neck area. This particular cloak can be seen in "The Lord of the Rings" movies.

Goth Cloak - This is a circle cloak. The cloak is made in two pieces. There is also a multi piece cloak lower on the page. Think of making a tree skirt for Christmas with either of these cloaks. The same idea is used with both of these cloaks.

Harry Potter Cloak - For "Harry Potter" fans, here is the cloak pattern that he is seen wearing for the school he attends in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone."

While some of the free cloak patterns may seem similar in nature, there are slight variations to each of them. Some of the free cloak patterns have a more visual approach to them than others. As long as you read the instructions carefully before cutting, you will be able to make a cloak with or without a hood.

    I recall when my grandmother made me a cloak as a child. I felt so elegant wearing it. Thanks for these ideas.

    Thanks so much! I wanted to make a Narnia style cloak like the one that Susan wears in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and have decided on the rectangular cloak and plan to make it with a velvet lining.

    Great for regular wear and perhaps even for costumes :)
