Here in Mexico there are some things called "Gabanes" that are little fleeces to be used as capes, usually made of wool. This is my version, with cozy fleece fabric, it's totally recomended for kids, they'll ask to have a sweater with this one =D

Bend your fabric from the long side once, leave a tab of about 10 cms.This will make your cape to have a front and a back. Then bend over the wide side once.
Mark a quarter of a circle in the opposite corner of the bends 10 centimeters of radius approximately.
Cut that circle.
Theorically in this step, your cape is ready, but you can embellish it as you wish
You ca make some cuts in the bottom, you can round the corners, you can even stitch the sides, I didn't because it would lost the "Gaban" style, but there's no rule for not stitching it =D.
My boyfriend was my model, sorry for the bad position, but he was not feeling well, he's getting a little flu, so, I'm glad he cooperated at least.
