ISO online pattern for hooded robes

[gem]

A friend in Australia just asked me this question, and I told her I'd ask the experts!

I'm looking for a pattern for a monks robe-the type that has the long pointed cowl/hood.DH has decided that he wants his next Ritual robe to be made along those lines.I did find a site with a hand drawn pattern for the pointed hood but I'd really like to find one with the whole garment.

Anyone have suggestions for her?

Gramercy!!

The pattern I used has been discontinued, but would this hood help?

I have this one, 9897. If you look at the diagrams, maybe it would help? I don't know of any directions online.

Dawn has nice tunic plans: http://reddawn.net/costume/tunic.htm

And a hood: http://reddawn.net/costume/hood.htm

Viking style tunic pattern: http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~capriest/viktunic.html

My best thought is to make a simple T tunic with a round neck at collarbone area, front opening, and attach a hood to that.  Monks robes often had a separate hood on a short shoulder cape, line Dawn's.

Hope these help.

I haven't made one yet,

Monk's Robe

Measure person across shoulders and down the arms about 4 inches. (This
would be for average adult male. Use common sense.)

Cut four pieces of cloth this wide, and as long as nape to heel.
Piece 1 is the back.
Pieces 2 and 3 are left and right fronts.
Piece 4 is divided in three. (Pieces will be the original width x 1/3 the
nape to heel.)

This gives two sleeves and a hood.

The sewing together should be fairly obvious. The fronts are sewn to the
back, matching them at the shoulder, and with the fronts leaving extra
hanging loose in the middle. The sleeves are added to this body piece,
centered on the shoulder seam. The whole [here Jo's mailer appears to
have hiccupped, but the logical conclusion is, "is seamed up the sides.

The hood piece is folded in half and seamed on one side. This is the back of
the hood and is matched to the center back. Then the bottom edge of the hood
is sewn to the loose flaps of the front. This makes a very deep hood.

You can hem or blanket stitch the raw edges. I don't know what is authentic.
Use cord for belt to hold it together.
I got this years ago from an interesting book which had patterns taken from
ethnic and historical garments. There's a medieval Danish cape which is
interesting, but quite complicated to convey without graphics. It would be
worth hunting through your library....  [here Jo's mailer appears to
have hiccupped again and the rest of the sentence is lost.]
