My mom made a very simple cape for my sister when she was little. Just a piece of red fabric and a piece of elastic (maybe 1/4"?). She hemmed the fabric to make a thin pocket, ran the elastic through, and tied the ends together so it could go around her neck. She had a machine, but it would be easy by hand. Probably not the safest cape in the world :) but better than her security blanket tied around her neck.
