Hand-making a cloak

I'm going to be making a cloak in this style

but I don't know what shape to do it (with a hood).
Circle, rectangle, or other. Would this design work http://neroempire.com/How%20to%20Make%20a%20Cloak.pdf ?

From my experience, a circle cloak for an adult will take ALOT of fabric!
The one I made for my 3 year old neice, I just managed to use a metre of fabric (including the hood). And on me that just came down to my elbows (well I had to try it on!!)
