This playful and cozy hood pattern is the perfect small project introduction to crochet steeking. The project is worked in the round, and then cut up the center to provide the opening for the face. This technique is easier than you think and the pattern comes with a full photo tutorial! This is the same hood pattern for the Saint-Malo Pullover, if you’re interested in both patterns, it is suggested that you just buy the pullover pattern, which can easily be adapted for this project. Finished Measurements Finished hood measures 16” tall, 11” across when laid flat, 25” circumference opening for the face.
