Alcega: Full-Circle Cloak
Silk cloak. This pattern takes 4 5/8 of a yard of 22 inch wide fabric.
The herreruelo was a simple day cloak accessory. It is theorized that it was self-lined and was truly only a half cloak. After measuring the fulness that is shown in paintings of this style, I have found the half-circle style to be less common.
