I wasn’t planning on making this free tutorial but since I came up with the idea of making these simple capes for my frogs, I decided I could just show you how I made them. The hoodie is oversized on purpose, so if your doll has a bigger head it will proably fit anyway. You can decide to make the opening for the eyes, or not. This is a quick video tutorial and the pattern is also on this page. Don’t forget to download it.
This I believe is pretty easy and quick to make and if you want to make the little frog doll that the cape was meant for in the first place. You can find the pattern and tutorial in my Patreon here:
Materials
- Fabric for cape
- Contrasting fabric for lining.

You are free to use this pattern to make capes for your dolls or sale, I just ask you give me credit for any capes made with it. (ie. Made with the Frog Cape Pattern by La Chulona Dolls)
Please, don’t sell the pattern, I think it’s obvious, but hey, you never know. It’s better to make sure and write it down.
