+Square Hood
+===========

+   .. contents::
+
+This hood is vaguely inspired by the Skjoldehamn Hood, in that the
+finished object has a vaguely similar shape, but uses a completely
+different construction method and pattern, suitable for very narrow
+fabric 
+  
+Materials
+---------
+
+Fabric
+^^^^^^
+
+* 70 - 80 cm of light to mid weight fabric such as wool or linen.
+
+Notions
+^^^^^^^
+
+* Matching sewing thread.
+
+Pattern
+-------
+
+Measure around your head, at the height of the forehead, and around the
+face from the top of the head to the chin; take the biggest measurement
+and divide it by two: this is the *minimum* width of the panels, if you
+want a deeper hood add maybe a cm or two. This will probably be
+somewhere between 30 and 35 cm. Add 2-4 cm for a hemming allowance, this
+will be the basic width.
+
+Cut one rectangle as wide as the basic width and four times as long, and
+two squares with a side of the basic width.
+
+Instructions
+------------
+
+Hem all edges: fold down the raw edges twice towards the wrong side,
+mitering the corners, and hemstitch down.
