Notes

used cheapo grey acrylic with Goldfingering in Silver alongside for this one.

smallest one for 18 month old - uses less than 1 ball Grey acrylic, and 2 balls of Goldfingering Silver.

Medium one for 3 year old - approx 1 ballGrey acrylic, and 2 and a half balls of Goldfingering Silver.

larger one for 5 year old - uses about the same as medium.

please note that these cannot be washed in hot water (or ironed) due to the plastic metalic yarn, so cold handwash is the best method to use - HOWEVER - if it accidentally finds it way into the washer, don’t panic, as the grey acrylic will keep the form of the hood, and what you will lose is the metalic effect only.

I am afraid there is no actual pattern as yet, as i kind of just go with the flow and crochet what feels right, but i will try to get it written down, as i think it is quite a good ‘un.
