Without the hood it's a lovely shawl that won't easily fall off. The hood is a bonus. Good job teaching a great base concept that can probably be applied to a variety of favorite stitches!
Thanks Cynthia!
Yesterday I have finished the hooded Cloak, which I have made as I have started a Walk to Mordor. It was just finished as I received the first medal (of 5). Thank you for this tutorial, I had fun making it.
OMG I GO TO MORDOR TOO
@@fanafalcon2218 good luck and enjoy that journey (I find it very motivating to get out of the house)
I’m glad you had fun making it, have fun wearing it to!
I’m gonna start this soon. It will go really well with my renaissance fair outfit
Awesome, let me know how it goes!
Thank you so much for this pattern, I'm going to crochet the AOT Scouts emblem into the back so I can have a comfy cloak to wear in and out of cosplay. Thanks so much for the video and pattern!
Thank you Mia! I would love to see it when it’s done, you can send me pics on IG @_illjay__
Way easier than it originally looked! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
Wow! Gorgeous cloak, gorgeous yarn.
Thank you MusiKat
I 💘 the hooded cloak! Wow! Love the yarn too. Such a fun pattern/ design.
Thank you!
Thank you. Made one and I love it. Hubby wants one now. Here we go!
That’s awesome! Great job
Thanks, I wrote down every step so I could do it anywhere ! It's my biggest project for now, hope it turns out good !
Thanks Louna, have fun!
Beautiful yarn! Love the pattern
Thank you Cherie!
I was scared to make a cloak, I haven't crocheted long most other patterns worried me but this made it look so simple. I think watching it be made and explained along the way is better for me to understand rather than reading it.
Thanks Elizabeth, I’m glad to hear you found it easy to understand. I learn better from watching too.
Beautiful! Love it 💕
Thank you Trish!
i’m really excited to begin this for my friends birthday!!
What a cool gift, I hope they love it!
I started this project only God knows when and feels like over a year and am just finishing the project am super proud of myself and your tutorials are super easy to understand and easy to follow so i appreciate you for it. Thank you.
Great job getting it done, I know it is a lot to finish!
Im not even 10 minutes in and i can already say, this is so easy to follow, i have only been making those popular cat ear beanies, some scarfs, and i want to make a simple blanket- i thought making a cloak would be hard... but you make it sound and look so so simple, because it is 😂 so thank you for making this. I will be following along the video with sage green yarn :3 might make a yt short on it after the new year!
That’s great to hear! I’m glad it made sense and yes you can!
I'm working on this right now in a blue ombre yarn and I can't wait to wear it! I am going a few steps further to modify it by lining the inside with fabric possibly, definitely adding a hidden pocket or twi on the inside and a few floral details on the outside. Maybe even a little trim around the edges.
Wow, sounds like some good detail additions. Would love to see if you can share on IG @crochet.with.illjay
I am in Belgium .i did one like this .it came so nicely i appreciate your service .thanks God bless you 🙏❤️😀
Thanks you Manel!
Interesting! I had an idea of how to go about making a cloak before looking up a video tutorial but your pattern makes a lot of sense. I'm trying to do a white to blue to black ombre cloak (white at top of hood, black at bottom of cloak) and wasn't sure how well it would go but I think I can manage it with your pattern. Thanks a ton!
Good luck with your cloak! Let me know how it turns out.
I started making a full lenght cloak with amazing booble yarn. Wish me luck 🤞
love it ... just bought your pattern
Yay, thank you!
Hi! I'm starting this today, and it's going to be black with purple and teal highlights 🤭 Thank you so much for sharing this! 💜
Awesome! Would love to see your progress and/or finished work, you can share with me on IG: @crochet.with.illjay
I use knitting markers to help me keep track of when to increase or something that differ from the rest of the pattern. Of course it desires some counts, but when when I’m crocheting I find it much easier not to lose track of where I am :-)
It’s cute xx
Thank you!
I'm loving this tutorial 🥰 I do have one question tho! I'm just starting this cloak in a super fine yarn with a 4mm hook, I wonder if I could do the increases in multiples of 12 or should I stick to multiples of 6? Thank you so much it means a lot!! ❤️
Hi Rosela, thanks for watching. I would stick to increasing in multiples of 6 and just start with a longer foundation ch.
It's very practical. I'll make it a bit longer.
Hi Wonder! I made mine longer too, check out part 2!
I’m
Using Caron simply soft to
Did you do 32 increase rounds? Because I really like the length of yours and am just wondering
Idk things like this are always "costumes" I would wear this in daily life
Right on! Doesn’t have to be part of a costume at all. I use that word in title thought because it is a key search term so people who are doing costumes can find this.😉
So I have a question, when working the hood, do you repeat the increase row and the regular row, or just the non increase row??
Increase only in the first round. Then stay straight
Hello! :) Your cape is lovely. Do you have any idea (currently) if it would work to follow your pattern with a sport/fingering weight yarn? I bought some bamboo yarn and it's sooo perfect for this. :)
Hi, yes I think it could be translated for sport weight fairly easily. You would need to do a few extra ch to starts. As long as it’s a multiple of 6 should still work up I think!
@@crochet.with.illjay Oh that's wonderful! Thank you. :)
I love the yarn that you used and the color! Did you order the yarn or did you have a store where you bought it and was it expensive?
I actually just picked up this exact yarn in a different color to make this cloak. It is a Hobby Lobby brand and normally costs $5.49 per 300 yard skein. But Hobby Lobby’s entire yarn section is 30% off every other week. This week what I call an “off week.” The yarn will be on sale again starting next Monday (Oct. 30). The stores are closed on Sundays, but the website is always open. And I believe the sales online change on Sunday.
Hi! what a beautiful project. I have a question, at which row you stopped increasing? you increased in all 32 rows?
Hi! I increased for about 25 rows, then continued without increasing. Check out part 2 for final specs. Link in description
Could I use any of the following yarn
Caron simply soft?
Comfy cotton blend?
Truboo?
Cake yarns? But I especially would like to
Use Caron simply soft as well should work just as good to right
You can use any weight 4 yarn.
@@crochet.with.illjay k thank u
I am very excited to attempt this for a ren faire! I haven't watched the whole video yet so idk if i just didnt watch long enough but i was wondering how many grams were used? Tysm if anyone can help!

How many balls of wool will you need to make for Pancho and a hood.
Hi, it's so beautiful. I am confused about the size though. How many ch for adult medium size ? In the written recipe it says measure the neckline and multiple with 2,5. That is a lot more ch ?
Hi Pia, I ch 66(+2) for an adult medium. Any other multiple of 6(+2) will work. I am updating the pattern so that sizing is more clear. Any difference in gauge, yarn, and hook size will also affect the size cape. There are a lot of variables and it’s best to make a chain, and measure against yourself to see if it works for you. You will get a pattern update in email when it’s ready.
Can anyone tell me the amount of yarn required? I want to make a calf length cloak for a size 18 lady.
Thanks!
Hi Claire, check out part 2 for the final specs.
czcams.com/video/neawo0vHp20/video.html
Can I use I love this yarn as well?
Yes!
I’m using a somewhat bulky yarn that uses a 8 mm hock. Will that be okay? It’s not super bulky, just more than your yarn
You can use that yarn, your stitch count will be different though. If you can apply the same basic concept- start with a multiple of 6 and do 6 increases, it should work up similarly.
A multiple of 6, so like 66 instead of 68? I’m pretty new to crochet.
I have a question. If I were using a bigger yarn size than you, should I keep all the amounts of chains the same or should I decrease the amount of chains?
Bigger yarn will make bigger stitches, you will need less stitches per row and less rows. How many? you will just have to trial and error I have not tried yet.
i was trying to figure out what part we are starting on so i know how long mine should be! i think its the neck we are straing at right? hopefully thats right so im not making the whole thing too small 😅😂
How much yarn does it take for this and the longer version in terms of yardage?
Hi Candice, check out part 2 for final specs on a long cloak. The Crochet Hooded Cloak, Part 2, Halloween Crochet Witch Costume

Do you still put 2 double crochet in the last stitch, when you're working on length?
No, just one in each after you’re done increasing.
i have 66 stitches but when i do the part for the hood my stitch count is 97 not 99. i keep recounting and trying to find if ive missed and but i have not
@@crochet.with.illjay
Im halfway through mine. Im doing it in 3 different colours in blocks of 6 rows per colour. Im just about to finish my last increase row.
Woohoo! Nice job
I will put a short video on my youtube of it when its finished and let you know its up so you can have a look
What size is this? I'm looking to make an Adult Small. Thanks!! 🧶💜
This is an adult medium. Just start with a smaller starting ch I explain at the beginning.
Will I be able to make this as long as I want? I want to make one, but I want a longer one.
Hi, yes you can make it as long as you want. Check out part two to see how long I made mine The Crochet Hooded Cloak, Part 2, Halloween Crochet Witch Costume

Hi. If I did 72 chains, would I still be doing the increase at the ends? I ended row 2 with two dc after the increase. Idk if that makes sense, but I just didn’t end the row with the increase.
Yes, still increase same amount. 6sts per row
@@crochet.with.illjay I figured out what I was doing wrong 😅😅 I can’t wait to finish this amazing piece 🥰
@@crochet.with.illjay I finished it! It was a gift for my friend and she LOVES IT SO MUCH!
When do you know to stop increasing? Do you have to stop at 25-40 rows?
Keep going until it wraps around your body. Could be different for everyone.
What size hook ? What size did u make ?
I wear medium.. so do the the chain u did?
What hook ?😊
5mm hook, it’s more of a size as you go pattern.
I'm kind of stuck because I don't end up with the double stitch, do we keep adding one on each round or just multiples of six?
You should be increasing by 6 stitches per round, including the last st.
Just starting on this beautiful cloak for my daughter. I have a question. For the right size you measure the neckline and the multiple 2,5 ? So if my daughter neckline is 34. Then it will be 85 ?
Do you maby have a pattern on papir? I would love to make it😍
Hi Nanna, here is the link to the written pattern. illjay.com/collections/patterns/products/pdf-pattern-the-hooded-cloak
What am i doing wrong? Mine keeps ruffling in row 2.
how much yarn does this need plz? 🥰
How did you accomplish the rounded edges at the bottom?
Not sure what you mean?
@@crochet.with.illjay oh you answered! 😁
Well, in the photo of you wearing the cape, I noticed the bottom edges in the front are rounded out, so I guess, the last few rows of stitches. Did that happen naturally?
Question, when crocheting the hood is it supposed to be frilly? Or did I make a mistake
The first row could looks frilly because there is an increase. Unless you did too many increases… otherwise it will be fine
@@crochet.with.illjay yeah I counted the increases and there was the right amount but still after around 5 rows it was still kinda frilly. Is that normal?
So I've done 78 stitches and ended up with four stitches NOT in DC bunch BEFORE the increase...what am j doing wrong?!
Starting with 78 sts, dc 1 in first 12, dc2 in the 13th. It’s a 6 st increase per row.
I have a question. Going on to row two, I cannot for the life of me complete that row without coming up a stitch short. I have all the correct chains, 66 dc plus the ch 2 on row one. Then I start row two in the chain space, count ten stitches increase in the eleventh. No matter how much I count, recount and start over. I have the same results. I have no idea why I’m having this issue.
Hi Rachael, it sounds like you are doing it right. Count to make sure you have 66 sts at the end of row 1. I think you might be missing either the first or last st in row 2.
@@crochet.with.illjay thank you for your reply. I figured out what I was doing wrong. It was a rookie mistake actually. Chalk it up to I was having a bad week. Love the pattern!
@@momsahockeynut I'm glad you figured it out, once you got it is easier to keep going, happy crocheting!
I’m having this issue too!
Does this work for thicker yarn? I’m using a 25mm crochet needle lol it’s pretty thick
It will probably come out much larger…will at the least need to start with a different ch count
@@crochet.with.illjay yup, I noticed that two hours into making it. I was like “yikes, probably should have waited” it looks pretty big, but I hope it turns out alright lol
I need to be a cute witch so I'm making a pink one
Let me know how it turns out :)
It turned out great, I'm going to mak e it a bit longer though 😊
Can I use a different stitch for the cloak? I'm planning for a different design
You can probably use similar stitches, as long as the basic shape it the same I don’t see why not.
I was hoping for the half double crochet
@@crispi_lmao6738 yes, I think that should be fine. You will need more rows in that case.
@@crochet.with.illjay thanks so much. I was making it for my 11th birthday
Can arms holes be add?
I don’t see why not. Not sure how but get creative;)
What size is 68?
I actually forgot
I have 2 big hugeeeeeeeeeeeee over combined like idk 1,000 more grams of sport weight yarn . Like
These cones are huge!!!!!!’
Can I use that as well
I mean I could use that go all the way to my feet and still have more left of yarn plus hoodie
Can I use this yarn instead ?
I have not tried the pattern with sport weight but I imagine it works up the same, just start with a longer ch. must be a multiple of 6.
@@crochet.with.illjay hey hun I don’t k ow
If I asked u this I went on sub yarn
And I said lion brand pound of love
Lion brand mandalas ombre I can use for this but they are not to soft and silky
Could I use Caron simply soft instead ?
@@crochet.with.illjay I have all of these yarns
I do t want to go out and buy more yarn if I do t need it
@@cassandrarudolph1307 Any weight 4 yarn is fine.
What other yarn could u recommend?
Any weight 4 yarn is fine
Is there a way to do child size?
Start with a smaller multiple of 6.
how much yarn do I need to make this ?😅
Hi Bara, check out part 2 for the final specs: czcams.com/video/neawo0vHp20/video.html
Can I make it smaller for a child?
Yes, sizing starts with measuring the neckline and going from there.
How do you know how wide you want it
Personal preference/fitting. You can measure or try on as you go.
Where is the part where you attached the hood 🤔
around minute 14
I finished the cloak to the length I wanted, but it doesn’t “drape” the way I expected.. its sort of stiff and instead of falling over my shoulders it stays in the same shape. idk what to do
Different fibers and textures will drape differently, tension also can be a factor. But for now, try washing the cloak. If you used a stiff acrylic or cotton this will help.
@@crochet.with.illjay ok i will try that. thanks 😊
❤ Is there a part 2?
Not yet ;) probably closer to halloween.
@@crochet.with.illjay ty
@@crochet.with.illjay ty
Sorry I posted that, to the wrong person
So you said you end each row with the two double crochet before starting a new row. I don’t think I’m repeating 6 times like you said but I’m doing this smaller to create like a carrying cloak for my infant child. Anyways, my point is, is that when I’m finishing a row I’m doing the pattern like instructed and then I have 5 or 6 stitches left before the end of the row. So I’ve been doing the two double crochet even though I just did the increase 5 or 6 stitches prior to.
I really don’t know if my original comment made sense… I sincerely hope it did 😅 I love this project and I just really want this to come out well. If it does, I’m gonna repeat this project for my cousins baby
this pattern isnt adding up for me, its confusing ??
@@user-ls6eo6rl4z
ok so i did 78 stisches. so i counted 12th stitch and i but a dubble stitch.
How many yards do I need? I’ve got 1,456 yd of purple and it’s hopefully gonna be floor length once finished. Gonna be a cape/cloak for my boyfriend for our dnd campaign

Está muy bonito pero lo hubieras subtitulado en español.
Gracias!
About what size do u estimate this to be? If I follow this pattern exactly.
Hi Jamie, check out part two for the finished details. I will mention though any slight difference in yarn weight or tension will yield different results. The Crochet Hooded Cloak, Part 2, Halloween Crochet Witch Costume

72÷6=12 and 78÷6=13, so I'd do an inc into the 13ty st not the 12....
Correct.
Am i the only one who had a hard time with the hood?
Por Qué, no lo traducen al Español o Castellano???💔😤🤮💩😡👎
