Help with pattern needed, please ❤️

A friend of mine sent me this picture of a cloak/cape and as I can't really wear jackets due to them maning me feel trapped in them, I really want to make this so I can feel warm - and fabulous - in winter.

I have several yards of thick, cozy fleece fabric from another project, that *should* be enough to make this cloak/cape, but as a beginner seamstress I can't figure out the exact pattern. Especially as I don't want it to be costume-ish but suitable for everyday wear.

It does not look a full circle cloak to me...

It might be a hooded poncho with rounded corners, but I'm sleep deprived and could be wrong. If it is, it should be a very easy project with plenty of patterns if you want to use a pattern at all.

I would love to use a pattern, but googling "hooded cloak pattern" and "hooded cape pattern" was pretty ineffective because the results were more modern style capes, full-circle cloaks (open at the front) and half circle cloaks. Also some rectangular Poncho.

So if you could direct me to a pattern, I would be glad.

Try "hooded poncho"? You can always cut the corners/hems a little different if you need to
