Knowing me, if I WERE to make a cloak, then I would wing it. I'd be like, "Oh, this looks good cut like THIS...OH! And this should be shaped like THIS...and you sew it like...THIS!" And, it actually wouldn't turn out that bad and would probably be fairly true to what the hobbit-cloaks would look like. Elf cloaks, those would be perfect, but...

My mom DID make a really good hooded cloak when I was like eight and I was Little Red Riding Hood...it looked exactly like the ones in FotR actually. She used a pattern from...hmmm...which one of those books? McCall's maybe...if you want a pattern you can take HOME, then go to any sewing store with patterns, they'll have them!
