This was one of the easiest things I ever made for my grand-daughter. It was made of a spare bit of black lining material. I used the same approach to cutting the cape part as for the Wonder Woman costume, i.e. a semi circle, with a small semi-circle cut out at the centre top for the neckline. The Wonder Woman costume post may give you more ideas.
I made a very simple hood, which was just a rectangle meauring roughly the same as the 'neckline' shown as x - x above. This was folded in half and stitched along the top seam into a pointed hood shape, then I got rid of the extreme point by just stitching across the point a couple of inches down. (You may be able to see the idea here.)
Then I attached the hood to the cape and finished all the edges, and added a couple of strings to where the hood joined the neckline at the front.
The measurements were not very precise, and we never intended her to wear the hood
(though she could have done) because she had a witchy hat.
And here's the finished cape being modelled by Leppie the leopard. This stuffed toy is almost the same size as a four-year-old child.
