Does anyone have or know where I can find a pattern for a crocheted hooded cape? Preferably in a plus size?

Thanks,

I could only find two Cheryl and they are both freebies. See if either is
of use to you.

The first one doesn't seem to be very large but you could possible adapt it:

The second one seems more likely from your description of what you want.

Fake it.

You're an engineer, so you understand the concept of the circumference
of a circle doubling at predictable intervals.

I knitted a circular bed cape (please don't ask me to find that pattern
for you). Start with a foundation row long enough to go comfortably
around the neck, and every so often, do a massive increase row
(calculate this from the mathematical formula referenced above). When it
reaches the maximum circumference you want at the hemline, stop
increasing. (Or, if you're crazier than I am, go ahead and make a
perfect circle with a 20-yard-long hemline. See if I care.)

Then just work upward from the neck to create your hood. Probably the
easiest way would be to just work a rectangle and seam the top together.
