CROCHET PATTERN to make your own stunning, leafy hood. Perfect for woodland walks, ren faires etc.

Pattern is for the HOOD ELEMENT ONLY.

Designed to accompany the Whimsical Woodland Poncho, but can also be worn as a standalone item. Can be attached to other items of clothing by using buttons, ribbons or sewing. It also works well as a hood liner for large-hooded coats!

Can be made in any size, in any colour. Use a dk or aran/worsted yarn for a cosy winter warmer, or a finer yarn, to create a unique bridal outfit. The choice is yours.

Hood with leafy border in image photos is made using approximately 2.2 balls of DK yarn and a 4mm hook.

Hood with simple ribbed border in image photos is made using approximately 1.8 balls of dk yarn and a 3.5mm hook.

The amount of yarn needed will depend on hook size and tension as well as garment size.

Yarn in photos is Yarnsmiths Create dk in Country Green.
