Pattern

Brim

You’re going to start by measuring to create the proper size for your hood. Measure from one armpit, up over your head, to the other armpit.

Ch this measurement in multiples of 2 + 1

Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as a Dc throughout), Dc into the 4th Ch from the hook, Dc into each Ch across, turn

Row 2: Ch 3, * FpDc in next, BpDc in next, rep from * until last 2 Sts, FpDc, Dc into turning Ch, turn

Row 3: Ch 3, * BpDc in next, FpDc in next, rep from * until last 2 Sts, BpDc, Dc into turning Ch, turn

Hood

Now, it’s time to make the shape of the hood. You’r going to start out by decreasing to get the shape to the shoulders, then you’ll continue without decreases to finish off the shape around the head/neck

Row 1: Ch 2 (counts as a Hdc throughout), Hdc in next, Hdc across, Hdc into turning Ch, turn

Row 2: Ch 2, Hdc2tog into the next 2 Sts, Hdc across until there are only 3 Sts left in the Row, Hdc2tog into the next 2 Sts, Hdc into turning Ch, turn

Rep Row 2 until the slant has reached the top of the shoulder.

Row 3: Ch 2, Hdc in next St, Hdc across, Hdc into turning Ch, turn

Rep Row 3 until you’ve reached the total size desired for your hood.

Now, hold your hood in half along the last row you completed, Sc along this edge to attach together, Fasten

Straps

Now, let’s create the fun straps! If you have D-links, you’ll be stitching these on along the edge of the 3 Brim rows on each side. If you don’t have D-links, you can just attach the strap directly to the same points. You just wont be able to adjust it later on.

To make the straps:

Start by making a Ch long enough to wrap around the body a few times.

Row 1: Ch 2, Hdc into 3rd Ch from hook, Hdc across, Fasten

Now, you can slip this Strap into the D-links and wear!

If you don’t have D-links, find the middle and measure out from the point of your two armpits, St the strap along the bottom edge of your brims rows on each side.

Ears

Lets make some ears

Make 2 in each colour making a total of 4

Ch 10

Row 1: Ch 2 (counts as Hdc throughout), Hdc into 3rd Ch from the hook, Hdc across, tunr

Row 2: Ch 2, Hdc into next, Hdc across, Hdc into turning Ch, Turn

Rep Row 2 until you’ve reached your desired length of your ear, mine is about 3 inches longer than my hood so they are extra floppy

Row 3: Ch 1 (counts as a Sc throughout), Hdc2tog in next 2 Sts, Hdc across until only 3 sts left in row, Hdc2tog in next 2 Sts, Sc in turning Ch, turn

Rep Row 3, 2 more times, Fasten

To assemble, you’ll be placing your secondary colour on top of your main colour. Sc using your Main colour around the edges to attach these 2 pieces together, fasten but leave a long tail for sewing. Repeat on other ear.

And finally, we are going to attach these 2 ears:

Fold your Row 1’s on the ears in half and sew up this edge, then place the ear on the hood at about your second Hdc Row in from the Brim and 2 inches below the middle and sew this into place.

Sew in your end and you’re done!

Enjoy this cute hood at festivals, for easter or whenever you’re looking for a funky evening of dress up!
