I have some Blue Sky Alpaca sportweight in a lovely deep purple that I'd really like to turn into a nice long cloak, maybe with a hood. I haven't been able to find any patterns I like, so I was tossing and turning the other night trying to figure out if I could wing it...
...and then suddenly the thought popped into my head:
Maybe I could steek it.
I'm just hoping it passes...

Hi,just found your new Blog, Hi :)
Speaking as someone who knit a child-size cloak with a hood (I made up the pattern) I would say don't do it. The cloak would be really, really heavy and the yarn would stretch a lot (imagine something at least twice the length of a sweater).
After having done it once, all further cloaks by me will be made of cloth. *nods resolutely*
