I made my own cloak and I have two thoughts on how you can make it hooded.

1) Make it reversible or lined(simple to do even if the pattern doesn't call for it) and sew the hood BETWEEN the two layers.

2) Put it on with buttons so it can be removed. This way both the cloak collar and the bottom edge of the hood will be finished.

Well, now that I'v thought about it I've come up with a third, but describing it would be difficult.

3) Put a plain collar on the cloak, just a long piece of straight fabric folded over both the inside and outside and sew the hood under that. (be careful not to sew it on the wrong side.)

Hope that was understandable. I know it can be tough trying to make sense of something with no pictures. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
