Cape Kraken Kraken Cape I wanted a House Greyjoy cloak, so I made one. Instruction for making one yourself down below.
Super easy Cape/Cloak Tutorial for beginners:
What materials you need:
For the cloak: -2m / 6ft 6 waterproof fabric that doesn’t need hemming
-Matching thread
-a oversized hood pattern (super easy to diy)
For the Kraken version you’ll additionally need:
-2m / 6ft6 gold trim
-gold thread, I used 2 spools à 2m/ 6ft 6 including embroidery
-2 buttons for eyes
The base cloak:
Cut a square of fabric using the width of your fabric. (folded on the picture)
Make a hood pattern by tracing a hood shape on paper, but make the bottom part of the hood have an extended piece of fabric, that will be used as closure later. You can make it as long as you want.
Use the remaining fabric to cut out 2 hood pieces.
Pin the hood pieces together leaving the straight side free and then sew the pinned pieces together aside from the straight side.
Fold your fabric square in half, you’ll need to cut out a small half circle on the edge where the fabric folds over. Measure your neck and use ¾ of that length to mark the sides of what your half circle cut out will be. Now combine the lines with a quarter circle and cut that circle out. This will give you the half circle where the hood will be attached.
Pin the hood to the fabric with the insides facing each other and sew the hood to the cloak.
If you simply want a cloak you can stop now for your friendly neighborhood’s watch style.
For the Kraken version you’ll need to trim the hood with gold. Fold the trim in half and pin the middle of the trim to the top of the hood where the seam is to get an even outcome. Then pin the trim along the hood leaving the rest of the trim to hang free so you can use it as a closure later. Sew the trim on.
Next lay the cloak flat on the floor and draw tentacles on it, than sew along the tentacle lines with gold thread.
For the eyes I needed some help, but you can eyeball it. I asked my mom to put the hood on so I could find the right spot to attach the eyes in a kraken looking way and then sewed them on.
If you want you can sew a beak. Trace a beak onto the base of the hood and sew it on.
Then I started on the suckers. You could make them in a different number of ways, using fabric color, sewing on buttons or beads or cutting out tentacles with a pre-embroidered fabric, but here’s how I did it through machine embroidery:
I used a zick-zack stitch to create little squares, lifted the foot and needle to move it further down the fabric where I made the next little square and I left the threat in between there. You could cut it off or sew a straight line between the squares, I just liked this visually the most.
This embroidery is the most time consuming part of the whole project.
And that’s it. You have a fancy Kraken Cloak now.
@owlsinathens Theon cloak? I thought. Theon cloak! I made. Balon would probably tell me I am a disgrace for the family.
First try to draw him
“I am more devout than even you, Aeron. Perhaps it should be you who kneels to me for blessing.”
The Red Oarsman laughed loudly at that, and the others took their lead from him.
“Fools,” said the priest, “fools and thralls and blind men, that is what you are. Do you not see what stands before you?” (The Iron Captain, A Feast for Crows)

It did not matter. He was the Damphair priest, beloved of the god.

“Let Theon your servant be born again from the sea, as you were,” Aeron Greyjoy intoned. “Bless him with salt, bless him with stone, bless him with steel. Nephew, do you still know the words?”
“What is dead may never die,” Theon said, remembering.

"We came from the sea, and to the sea we must return. Open your mouth and drink deep of god's blessing."

People talk about a lot about the tragedy of the Stark family -- which mind you is absolutely fair what happens to them is horrible -- but in my eyes the most tragic family we see in asoiaf has to be the Greyjoys, just because of how inherent their tragedy is. Unlike the Starks, they did not start off happy in a secure home, well respected by the rest of Westeros. From the first moment we see them in the story they’re all struggling in one way or another due to all the trauma they’ve experienced thats either intergenerational, due to the Greyjoy Rebellion, due to the actions of other family members or due to how in general they are treated by the rest of Westeros.
All the Greyjoys we encounter seem to feel this need to prove themselves, or excel or gain power in some shape or form, like they’re all scraping at the walls of this hole they find themselves at the bottom of -- a hole that only seems to get deeper as the books go on. Their wish to prove themselves usually comes from two places; to prove themselves to other family members or to prove themselves to Westeros.
The Starks show us the horrible fate this family suffered from when they left their homes and were separated from each other. And whilst things were never perfect for them, they all yearn to return to Winterfell and their family.
House Greyjoy (it would feel weird to call them a family) are splintered apart from day one. The horrible things that happen to them don’t happen because they f.e. left home or are apart, they come from the inherent tragedy of being a Greyjoy, and how that affects and defines their actions across the series that lead them to their predicaments.
Which is why, other than the Starks, where we have the feeling that this all was avoidable and are biting our nails at every corner hoping they will make the right choice, the fall of the Greyjoys seems almost inevitable at times -- and therein lies, imo, the tragedy.
