Dear Cat,
the cloak is exactly a half circle. The neckline is not as big as you would make
it normally, it's smaller. The front opening including the neckline is more or
less shaped like a U. ADDITIONALLY, darts are added at the shoulder to get the
front opening shiftet more to the back. It's difficult to explain, because the
darts were draped at a dress form.

Maybe a look at these pictures helps you:

Bye,
Mohmoh

cloak/cape is a half circle? It says "semi circle", so I wondered if it was half
or less for the pattern? If it's less than a half circle, can you tell me how to
make the shape correctly? I make my capes half circle, and they are always
falling to the front and getting in my way.
