Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in vibrant orange
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 6 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the foundation for your hood.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (this counts as your first half double crochet, or hdc). Work 11 hdc into the magic ring. To close the round, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-2. You should have a total of 12 hdc.
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then work 2 hdc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-2. You will now have 24 hdc.
4. Round 3: Chain 2, then work *1 hdc in the next stitch, 2 hdc in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-2. You should have 36 hdc.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner (adding one more hdc before each increase) until the hood reaches your desired width. You can try it on to check the fit as you go.
6. Work Even: Once you've reached the desired width, work even in hdc (no increases) until the hood reaches your desired length. This typically ranges from 8 to 12 inches, depending on your preference.
7. Start the Cowl: To create the cowl, join your yarn at the bottom edge of the hood. Chain 2, then work hdc evenly around the bottom edge of the hood.
8. Continue in Hdc Rounds: Keep working in hdc rounds until the cowl reaches your desired length. A typical cowl length is about 8 to 12 inches.
9. Finish Up: Once you have reached the desired length for the cowl, fasten off your yarn and use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends. Make sure everything is secure!
