Crochet Hood

It's funny how the prettiest crocheted things can often turn out to be super easy to make. That's exactly the deal with this supes adorbs(yeah I just wrote that) crochet hood. It's so simple to make, it hardly even needs a proper pattern at all. That me in the pic wearing too much hood and not enough bra. This hood works up so fast, and yet it's the one thing I get requests for the most.

So here's how you make it........

Using a Q hook and Chunky(6) yarn, You just make basically a tiny blanket. Measure from one shoulder to the other over your head and then chain up that length(about 28-30 inches)Then DC in 5th Chain and across. Then CH 3 and FPDC in the next 2 and then BPDC in the next two for rows 2 and 3. 

Then you just DC back and forth, remembering to Ch 3 at the beginning of each row until it's big enough to drape over your whole head(about 16 inches)

I used a combination of Bernat Chunky yarn and some random crap I got from dollar tree, but you can use a mixture of chunky yarn, or even worsted yarn doubled up. When you have finished your little blanket, fold it in half lengthwise and use yarn and a needle(you know those big fat ones, whatever they're called) to sew up the back and then tie off.

And when you turn it towards you, tah dah, it's a hood.

After that I just made a braid with the Yarn  by cutting 9 long ass pieces and then making three groups of three and braiding them together. With this hood I then just fed it through random holes at the bottom, but with consecutive hoods, I actually created a proper space to feed it through by crocheting along the bottom, 1 DC and then chaining 1, skipping one stitch and the DC into the next stitch across.

Well that's it. It only takes about half an hour, and it looks awesome. Make them, wear them, sell them, enjoy.
