This Perline Cloak was featured in Godey’s Magazine in 1863. It is worked in Tunisian or long hook crochet. It has nine panels that are sewn together. The border is worked in knit, but crochet is also an option if preferred.

The original pattern is available through the link, as well as my modern pattern and tutorial.

While there is only one size, I did include notes and the math so that it could be sized.

Happy Crocheting,

~ Jamie
