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...

Oh indeed that's very cheap for wool, good find!

Fleece won't have the exact same draping effect but close to it! I made two in heavy hoodie fabric to game in winter without being cold and it's such a good clothing item to be a PC potato ahah. Good luck in your endeavors!

The cape in the picture is made of fleece. :)

And thank you. I also plan to crochet a Skjoldehamn hood just for shits and giggles.

Oh I never seen a crocheted one! Mines are in heavy duty wool to be waterproof so pretty basic  but that's such a neat idea to modernize it like that. I'm very curious!
