    If you're trying to craft one of the cloaks from the Equipment Creation --> Cloak options, you'll note that there's a lock icon on the left of probably all of the individual items. Select one (e.g., Frigid Spider Silk Cloak) then look at the bottom of the description pane on the right. You'll see instructions on how to unlock the recipe for this specific item, typically referencing a specific Achievement. Close the workbench window, then open your Journal, go to the Achievements tab, select Crafting on the left, then Equipment from the sub-menu ... scroll the right pane until you find the specific Achievement description (in the example, you're looking for the "Silly Temptation" Achievement). The Achievement description will tell you that you must collect 100 boss-specific crafting items (in this case, you need to have killed Karabossa and/or Magotina enough times to have collected 100 "silk glands" ... beware that killing a boss on some modes does not guarantee a drop of the special crafting ingredient from the boss, so you may need several hundred kills before you collect 100 of the crafting item). Once you've got 100 items from the appropriate boss at the same enchantment level (i.e., you can't mix Common and Magic crafting materials), and whatever raw materials the workbench requires (presumably 500 yarn + any junk cloak), try your luck with the craft. You'll get the item you're trying to craft, but it may be absolute junk. In other words, equipment crafting is a high-effort (farming bosses + other raw ingredients), low-probability of satisfying results (you can improve your chances of getting something useful by crafting with higher quality raw materials).

    If on the other hand you're trying to craft a random cloak, you have to just get lucky: Place 4 items of the same enchantment level (e.g, 4 green / "Improved" items) including at least one cloak (but you can't put 4 cloaks on the workbench; at least one of the items has to be a different type of equipment), hit the Combine button, then pray you get a cloak instead of one of the other junk equipment types you tossed into the mix. You may even get something completely random, not matching any of the raw junk items you combined. (There may be logic behind what item the workbench spits out; I'm too lazy to test it.)
