IKEA Made Instructions for Jon Snow’s Burly-Ass Winter Cape

Spoiler alert: All it takes is three steps

Jon Snow knows something, and it’s bargain shopping.

IKEA just released an infographic showing how you can turn one of their sheepskin rugs into a cape, similar to the one used by the former Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. The cartoon utilizes the same obtuse cartoon style the Scandinavian company uses for its furniture assembly guides.

Why? Turns out the HBO show actually uses SKOLD rugs for the capes worn by the Night’s Watch, a fact previously revealed by head costume designer Michele Clapton (though the costume department does cut and we shave them, as well as add strong leather straps.)

It’s not the first time GoT and IKEA have crossed paths: Earlier this year an employee for IKEA crafted a toilet worthy of the Iron Throne.
