Pictured is the Lindsey Thornburg Pendleton Black Los Ojos Mid-Length Cloak.

It's sold out (and honestly a little out of my price range) and I was wondering if you fine folks have a similar cloak pattern you know of?

Thanks for the help!

I do not need to knit a giant goth coat, I do not need to knit a giant goth coat, I do not need to knit a giant goth coat...

If your taste skews in the direction of steampunk, then don't look at this book either ๐Ÿซฃ. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/needles-and-artifice

@thegiddystitcher @Timecircleline If that's what your psyche is telling you to do then that's what's needed...it'll make you feel better I'm sure...plus, it'll be useful not just ornamental. I'll provide other justifications if you need them...

Haha, thank you for your service. It's gone into my Ravelry queue, so you never know! :D

Thank you for looking for me!

I was more enamored with the color work than the cloak design, though. I don't particularly care if it's any more complex than a circular cloak with pockets, but that bold geometric design is what I want to make!

@tehlaughing1 you might like the style of Native Knitter or Tsinbikeeknits

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Both of these designers are in my favorites! I'm from NM too and their designs remind me of home.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I DO like these.

Does Native Knitter sell her patterns? I just found notions on her website.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

@tehlaughing1 I was convinced she did but it seems she only has one on Ravelry!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Weird she didn't even link to it on her website!

Here's a link, she just goes by her name on there.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

@tehlaughing1 ah yes! Oh there are some FUN patterns. I follow her on Insta but seeing them all together like this is quite something!

That is indeed a gorgeous cloak!

Did they ever REALLY go out of style?

My design philosophy is: if it makes you (and the people you live with) happy, then why worry about what strangers think?

Something like this but make it longer, do a knot hood and find a simple colourwork pattern?

Or this, with a hood and in black and white?

It depends how comfortable you are modifying patterns, I guess pp
