CONSTRUCTION
This hood has a straightforward, intuitive construction. It is started from the centre of the forehead creating a small triangle, increasing only on the odd rows at the beginning, end and around the central axis. When the top of the head is reached, no more in­creases are worked for the centre. Next the main body is completed. Then, stitches on each side of the garment are bound off and the back tail will be worked.
